Comments:

Swim in pool was bad. swimmers went off at 5sec intervals. needed to be 10. got stuck in slooooow lane with 3 really slow swimmers.

What would you do differently?:

next time I will put our swim time a lot more accurate to get in the fastest wave time.

I have no idea why this was sooo slow. I will just chalk it up to "whatever". I had hoped for 1.30 but thats ok, will work on it.

I felt like crap crap crap on the bike which is HUGELY disappointing. I had wanted to do better than 7th female in for gods sake! I am very upset but I need to realize that my peak isn't until August so I have lots of time to work on this thank god.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

NO energy on the bike.

Event comments:

needed to have things set up faster so we didn't get the waves pushed so far back, then the iron kids tri and the tri it kids tri was over 2 hours past due. frustrating.
