Swim
Comments: I was very pleased with this swim. Everything felt good considering the conditions we had. My navigation was about perfect and I didn't managed to take any mouthfuls of water. What would you do differently?: Swim faster, but I think I swam about as good as I could. Transition 1
Comments: I didn't get my wetsuit off as quick as was hoping but I didn't think that it took me as long as the clock says. Part of the time I might have just been getting use to standing up again after the swim. What would you do differently?: Just be quicker!! Bike
Comments: I was hoping this would have been quicker but I can't complain for my first olympic distance race. Would love to get my avg mph over 20 next week in Baxter. What would you do differently?: GO FASTER!! Transition 2
Comments: When I came into T2 I carried my bike over the curb and my back brake was moved enough that it was preventing my back wheel from moving. Managed to drag it to my spot though. I just hope it wasn't like that during the race. Getting the bike shoes off running shoes on went good though. What would you do differently?: Not take as much time :) Run
Comments: I was very happy with this run. I have been running this pace during my sprint races and now I managed to keep it during a 10K run. Calves were tight coming off the bike and once that went away the hamstrings felt very tired. Good run though, can't complain. What would you do differently?: GO FASTER!! Post race
Warm down: Changed and warmed up. Managed to chat with a few fellow racers and then enjoyed lunch that was provided by the race. What limited your ability to perform faster: Lack of tough training in the last few weeks. With work being crazy and working on getting ready for college again, I slacked on some workouts. Event comments: This was definitely a fun race. The cold weather made for a tough start but I really enjoyed the course. The bike course went through the area of WeFest which is a HUGE country musical festival held in early August. The race staff was awesome, the lunch held afterwards was delicious, and I will definitely be signing up for this one again in future years. Last updated: 2007-08-16 12:00 AM

Just walked around and got my transition area set up. I slept in an 1/2 hour later than I was hoping so I didn't get there as quite as early as I had hoped. Still was plenty of room in the transition area.
