 Swim
Comments: Swim was better then I thought it would be. My first ows but it was more of a pool! I started in the front and did a good job of staying with my wave until the first buoy. I sighted with the lane lines and didn't realize you swim on an angle to the left side. Found the group again but lost time and was behind slower swimmers. What would you do differently?: Watch the waves before me. Get a better feel for the route.  Transition 1
Comments: First time wearing a tri suit so was happy with not having to put on shorts over wet legs. Dipped feet in dish of water (thanks to whoever suggested this!) dryed them and slipped bike shoes on. First time racing with no socks on the bike. Felt great. Running with bike shoes not good. What would you do differently?: learn to get feet in shoes while clipped into bike.  Bike
Comments: I was able to use aero bars for most of my race. felt good and passed quite a few people. Legs were feeling a little tired at the end. What would you do differently?: Work on turning corners. Work on propper gearing. I think I could have done better in the right gears Transition 2
Comments: I was happy with this, I had to put socks on after the bike but this went smooth. Glad I bought the yankz. What would you do differently?: have sport beans on top of hat. I forgot to put them with t-2 things and didn't have them. I needed a "boost" :(  Run
Comments: It was a tough run for me. Running is not my strong suit! Although my pace was better then it has ever been I felt more drained and didn't think I was doing good at all. Other racers were very supportive and encouraging. Looking back I am ok with my run but wonder if I could have pushed more. What would you do differently?: Train more on the run. Do more brick workouts. Post race
Warm down: Walked around. had a bagel and a banana. More water/gatoraid What limited your ability to perform faster: My own doubt and negative self talk. Event comments: Events were 1 hr behind but not due to organizing! They started right on time then the rain/thunder/lightning happened! This was very well run and I will be back next year!

Race was away from home so stayed with Meghan's family. Night before rechecked bags and layed out clothes in order. We drove the bike route. Didn't get much sleep, but felt good @5 when we left. Got to transition a little late and things were filling up fast, not much room to place things out.
Really didn't do much of this...next time go down to water. This was my first time here and should have checked everything out the day before not just the bike. We were cold from the start and the rain didn't help! My spirits were raised when my Hubby and kids surprised me! He drove from Milwaukee with all 4 kids and made my day!
