 Swim
Comments: Good swim, really short though. What would you do differently?: Maybe warm up some. I don't know. It takes me at least 500 yards to even start to feel warmed up.  Transition 1
Comments: This went okay. One goal of mine for this race was to do better at transition. What would you do differently?: Go faster.  Bike
Comments: Fun bike ride. At first I was all wound up - heart racing and breathing hard. Did a better job of calming down. Ate something and got some water in the tank. Hit 30mph. and passed a bunch of people. Super fun stuff. Fastest average - almost 17mph! I felt good when I was done too. What would you do differently?: Go faster? Hills, slight inclines, anything not flat I need to work on...its getting better though. Transition 2
Comments: Okay T2. What would you do differently?: Go faster.  Run
Comments: Okay run, once I calmed myself down and settled in. I will not bring my water bottle with me next time. I didn't really need it and it sloshed which I found to be very annoying. I liked running on the dirt - it was good for my foot and it didn't hurt which was good. I ran more than I walked I think. What would you do differently?: Run the entire distance. I had to walk a bit at the beginning til I calmed myself down. Post race
Warm down: Walked around - high fived Matt and Faeron and Monica. Found my Dad and Camille - I loved having them there. It was great to see them when I came in from the swim and the bike and of course at the finish. Got a medal! Woot! Gotta have the medal. Got all my gear together and my Dad took me and Camille out for breakfast. I love those two people so much. What limited your ability to perform faster: I wish I could settle down faster at the beginning of each leg - I spend a lot of time getting my heart rate and breathing under control again. It was way, way better this time though. I need to lose some weight. I don't like the way I feel when I run and I am sure this doesn't help the PF I have been having for what seems like forever. Event comments: Overall a really fun and zippy race. No food at the end was a bummer. I could have used a banana or an apple or something. It started a little bit late.

Up at 4:30 a.m. had the usual cereal and banana for breakfast. Got Camille up as she was going with me. She had never gone to one of my tris before and this was a good one for her to go to since it was short and nearby. I had all my gear together so we just had to get dressed, eat and go.
Not much of one - I stood in the water. It was like bath water - nice. I hadn't planned on wearing the wetsuit anyway probably would have boiled in it. Found Faeron and Matt and hung out with them for a little bit. Saw Monica and said hello.
