What would you do differently?: Lots more training both in the pool and in open water.  Transition 1
Comments: Getting shoes on without socks was a little tough, but better than putting socks on first (I think). What would you do differently?: Practice more... lots of room for improvement here.  Bike
Comments: I worked on hydration early and ate (?) a GU about half way through... Espresso with 2X caffine... yummy! We had some rain... mostly a drizzle, but given the fact that I though it might downpour, this was great. What would you do differently?: Train more on hills, work on gear shifting and cadence. Transition 2
Comments: Had a hard time balancing to get my first foot out of the bike show and into the running show. Otherwise, felt pretty good. What would you do differently?: Due to the cloudy day, I should have left my shades :) More practice!  Run
Comments: Water stations at three points on the course. I felt really strong for some reason. This was a really good run for me! What would you do differently?: Train more Post race
Warm down: Waited for my mom to finish... only a few minutes behind me. Found the rest of my family and friends. Drank water and socialized, went to clear my stuff out of transition, returned to finish to wait for another friend to finish, got something to eat and some Starbucks coffee!!! Hung around for the awards. What limited your ability to perform faster: Lack of training and nerves Event comments: This is a great race and very well run! Volunteers and participants are all very friendly. Given where I am with training (and lack of this year), I felt really good about my results, but know I have lots of room for improvement next year. Mom mom placed 3rd in her AG. GO MOM!! Honorable mention... my brother placed 4th in his very tough AG (missed 3rd by 20 seconds). Last updated: 2008-01-05 12:00 AM

Got up around 4:30... drank coffee and ate oatmeal. Just took my time getting ready to leave. Grabbed a raincoat just in case.
Arrived in plenty of time to get marked, set up, visit the porta-potty in the complete dark (hmmmmmm), walked the transitions a couple times as the transition area was a bit overwhelming and I had a hard time finding some good spotting items (trees, etc.), went to the potty again, visited with some family and friends in the race, potty again, checked water temp, rinsed goggles, ready to go!
