 Swim
What would you do differently?: train in the pool, train in OW, work harder on the swim...I've been battling ITB most of the spring...so all of my training has pretty much gone in the toilet...but I didn't do any swim training...shame on me regardless of the ITB.  Transition 1
Comments: other than not getting my wetsuit off in an effecient manner, i was happy w/ my transition...lots of work to do there...I could have taken 4 minutes out of T1 easily What would you do differently?: practice  Bike
Comments: I was pleased with the bike portion of this race...I posted my fastest average time of three events this year. Personal best on the bike for me What would you do differently?: practice more...drive the route before the race Transition 2
Comments: not bad...still would like to be faster once off of the bike...haven't tried running w/o my cleats yet...I think I need to be more comfortable with that part...lots to learn yet...I'm a sponge for advice.  Run
Comments: I was very pleased with my run after my first ever OW swim, a bike and a run that I'm familiar with. I probably could've dipped down into sub 24 but since I haven't trained in 3 + weeks because of my ITB, I was very pleased with this run Post race
Warm down: water, water, water, shade and sugar What limited your ability to perform faster: lack of preparation Event comments: Great race! I like the "bigger" atmosphere...but there's plusses and minus to each type I guess...I'm very new to the sport, loving it, and learning a lot...thanks to everybody who I've met who've been more than gracious with all kinds of tips and tricks...I'll pay it forward when I have the chance! Thank you! Last updated: 2008-06-02 12:00 AM

woke up around 5 AM, rode my bike from my house down to transition at 6AM, picked up race packet, got body marked. walked back home, got my running gear ready, did a warm up jog from my house back to transition to double check things, went to pre-race meeting, and got my wetsuit ready for my 1st ever open water swim!
not much other than trying to get the butterflies to go away for my very 1st triathlon
