 Swim
Comments: Even though my time was slow, I felt this was one of my better swims. I felt completely confident in the water and my breathing was right on. I think I could have pushed myself a little harder though. What would you do differently?: Start pushing myself a little more in the water!!  Transition 1
Comments: Uggggggggggg...I really need some transition practice!! Wetsuit stuck on heels. Saw Joe runner in transition right away so I knew the game was on!! What would you do differently?: More practice  Bike
Comments: Felt great on this ride!!! Set my sites on Joe Runner...caught up with her and rode for a bit together!! Was feeling really strong so I pulled away. I thought if I could get a good lead on her on the bike she might not catch me on the run. (heh!! yeah right) What would you do differently?: Nothing Transition 2
Comments: No Craig I was not making a sammich!! Jeeeeeze....will someone please tell me why I am so slow!! What would you do differently?: Practice transition!!  Run
Comments: Craig loaned me his garmin for the run, but I couldn't get the friggen thing to work. Messed with it the first 3 miles and could not get a signal. It kept beeping at me and the guy next to me said, "look out she is gonna blow". So at that point I just turned it off. Started out ahead of Joe Runner. I thought since I had a good bike lead on her I could stay ahead of her on the run!! NADDA!! All of a sudden half a mile into the run I hear EEEEEAAAAWWWWWW!! I turn around and there she is...Sh*t!! Held her pace for most of the run, but I couldn't get my heart rate down. Told her not to wait for me and to just go ahead!! Kept her in my sites and tried to really push the last mile to catch her but could not do it. What would you do differently?: Nothing! Post race
Warm down: Another race in da books!! Chatted with the donks and then went to cheer on the rest that were coming in! Event comments: This was my first Oly and my goal was to go sub 3!! I did it and that's all that matters to me!! Thanks Terri for pushing me on the run!! Another fun race. Great meeting so many new BTers...that's what it is all about!

Got up at 4:00a.m. grabbed my normal race day breakfast...PB bagel, banana and decaf coffee. Realized when I got half way there I forgot my donkey top...ugggggg! Picked up 2goggs from the hotel and drove to the parking area. From there we had to ride a shuttle bus to the transition area.
Got to transition, set up(thank you Force for pumping up my tires!!), got on my wetsuit and headed to the swim start. We were running a little late, so I didn't get my pre-race swim in like I always do. No biggie!! Chatted with Terri(joe runner)about the race and decided that we would come into the finish together!! We seem to have the same pace.
