Swim
Comments: Tough swim, it was my first race. Did not like the wave entrance. I got dunked a couple times from a person climbing over me. A little chaotic. Thought at the turn around I may die. HAHA.I backstroked all the way back to shore. What would you do differently?: PRACTICE PRACTICE. My partner and I did alot of indoor swimming. I think with the combined adrenaline and anticipation my breathing was shot. I really need to work on relaxing. A few more races and I think Ill be much better off. Transition 1
Comments: Transition was chaos. Alot of people were already gone but it was still busy in there.. everyone running like crazy. I think my transition went well. Took time to put socks on, I was in a trisuit so no need to change. What would you do differently?: I dont think Id change anyything. It went smoothly and I was in and out fast. Bike
Comments: I was passed by a 65 year old! HAH. It was fun. I was a little shaky just from nrves and dropped my water bottle. Ate a gel on the race. Probably wasnt necessary. Mental thing. What would you do differently?: Work on hills and gear changing. I dont understand the complete concept of it just yet. i stick to 3 or 4 key gears! Transition 2
Comments: Smooth. I ran in the same shoes I biked in, so this transition was quick! What would you do differently?: Drink more fluid. Run
Comments: I caught a bad cramp at mile 1 and had to walk about 200 yrds.. I sucked it up after that and finished the run though. What would you do differently?: Drink more fluid before hand and not during the actual running since it was only 3 miles. Post race
Warm down: walk around, drink some fluid. Event comments: All of the athletes were amazing and very supportive!! The volunteers were so great. Id definitely do the race again next year! Last updated: 2008-06-25 12:00 AM

Stretched drank some water, set up my transition area.
