The Nation's Triathlon - TriathlonOlympic

learn how to defend myself in the water.lots of kicking and what I felt like punching,

go harder,learn how to finally sight

no problems here except volunteers getting people to start at bike mount line,people where all over the place in this zone for bike mount,then once leaving bike mount zone,people going in all different directions,good thing my bike handling skills helped

had fun,definatly need to stay alert

nothing really,work more speed cadence training

this is were my lead and charge for AG disappeared, I was so ready to cry.First time this happened, got racked bike in my spot #1171 and all my running gear,number,shoes,socks were gone,wetsuite was there,I was so totally panicked,somebody grabbed my running stuff by accident,finally found it two racks over,shoes and socks but no race number,so paniced somebody from USAT helped me and made sure I didn't get a penality,apologized profusely numbers of times,finally got my gear on and off I went,could have placed from what I feel in top 5 for AG, next year

I'm going to start hanging my shoes and race belt from bike rack,new plan,can't believe somebody made a mistake and took my stuff, I would have at least placed it back in right spot

Should have stopped and regained my composure after all that happened in T2,misssing shoes,socks and race belt,thought I could make up time on the run,the guys ahead of me on bike were so tired from bike,think they went out to hard,where I was ready and willing to go the distance,so upset

I bonked at finish line,first time I fell down and was dragged off to medical,actually happened at last turn around just before finish line,so embaressed

sat in medical


my missing running stuff from T2,the shock


do it again in 09,definatly but new strategy for T2
