Many people clearly uncomfortable in the water in this swim! Had to pull up and let a rescuer on a surf board pass in front of me to get to one lady.

Comments:

Got cut off by another rider. Almost crashed into her but I braked and skidded and missed her by about 4 inches... then got back to pedaling. The photographer who was about 4 feet away yelled out "nice save!" :)
Transition 2
  • 01m 38s
Comments:

Took a moment to wave to my sister standing outside the transition area. She was there to support me and hauled her ass out of bed at 5:45am to be there - it was the least I could do.

  • 2.5 miles
  • 08m 05s  min/mile
Comments:

Had a mild asthma attack at the start of the run. Had to walk for a bit but I just tried to maintain a slow steady jog to the finish.
What would you do differently?:

More brick training off the bike to the run.
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

Asthma and clearly not enough run training.

Event comments:

I had a great time. Very inspirational environment. Looking foward to doing it with my sister next year. No more spectating for her!
