Comments:

Since I'm not used to swimming in a group, I started off at the back of the pack. Even so, it still took me about 5 minutes into the swim to settle down and use my technique (what little technique I have.)
What would you do differently?:

I feel like I could have pushed myself harder, but that is theme of the day.

The day before the race was my first time using the clip in pedals. It came to me supprisingly easily.
What would you do differently?:

Next time I should find a better place for my glasses.

This was the hardest part of the day. When I first hopped off the bike, I wasn't sure if I would be able to run at all. It was a mile into the run before I felt normal.

I'm actually supprised I ran as fast as I did. I felt like a turtle on the run.
Post race
Warm down:

They had some good food at the end so I partook of fruit and rice pilaf. We had a nice uphill hike to the car (worse than anything on the course).



Event comments:

This was a great way to introduce myself to the Tri. Also, having Eric as a guide was priceless.
