Swim
Comments: This is a total miracle. I had to look at my watch multiple times to be totally sure I was actually out of the water in 7:41. Whoo hooo What would you do differently?: Swim Harder. I was freaked out about getting hit continually that I was trying to avoid people instead of just swimming. Transition 1
Comments: I was breathing pretty hard when I came out of the water so T1 was like "rest stop 1". What would you do differently?: I should have actually practiced once and been 100% if where to put my stuff. Bike
Comments: Good easy ride. Half uphill and half downhill (approximately) What would you do differently?: I would ride wayyyy harder. I left a whole lot for the run as as we can tell by my logs and Transition 2
Comments: Time included in Run- approximately 2 minutes. What would you do differently?: Nothing this was probably as good as I could get. Run
Comments: I sucked here. I did a walk run and I really needed to run a lot more than I did. I'm on the couch to 5k plan and my logs really reveal that I shouldn't have even been this fast. I didn't push it enough on the first half of the run because I was more concerned with finishing than running. What would you do differently?: This is an area of immediate improvement for the next tri. If I can work on this split and maintain the others I will be making a huge difference. Post race
Warm down: bajapat poured a beer down my back and I hung out for the swag. What limited your ability to perform faster: My mind. I was so worried about DNF and just beating DFL that I didn't really give myself a chance to go all the way. I will pack a GU in my tri suit for the next one because I was dragging at the end of the run. Event comments: This is a great race for a newbie like me. Well controlled and nice course.

Drove to Lake T was on a conference call about a conference call that I needed to be on the next day.
I swam about 100yd to get started and mostly because Stone freaked me out about the 2 inch waves and maybe using the wetsuit. I walked back to the car got the wetsuit and then saw other people putting it on so I did also.
