Swim
Comments: Good swim. I think there were too many people in my heat though -- about 150 women. It was pretty crowded and I got punched in the head a few times. I also swam over a couple people. What would you do differently?: Nothing. Well, except learn how to swim faster :) Transition 1
Comments: Ok transition. I need to practice these and move faster! What would you do differently?: Move faster! Bike
Comments: Not as good as my bike speed at Northeast, but I hauled booty so I'm happy. I think I was the 7th or 8th woman off the bike so I was happy. Two women really pissed me off during the early miles. I would pass them, then they would pass me and ride alongside each other so that I couldn't pass. They also told me I was a good pacer, so I'm guessing that they were drafting off of me. I lost some time trying to pass them, but I finally passed them for good at mile 8 or 9. What would you do differently?: Nothing. I pushed my hardest. Transition 2
Comments: I don't know why I dallied so much here. It is slower than my T1 time. I would like to eventually be under a minute. What would you do differently?: Move way way faster. I think this is my slowest T2 of the season! Run
Comments: I was expecting a slow run, because I haven't been running much lately (concentrating more on the bike and swim). I was happy with my time -- it was not an easy run! Post race
Warm down: Walked/stretched. What limited your ability to perform faster: Slow transition times :( Event comments: I really liked Marshman (it is its first year), but hope that next year the number of racers will be limited to around 300. The swim and bike portions were very crowded. So much so on the bike that people were not adhering to USAT rules for drafting, passing, blocking, etc. I will definitely put this on my race calendar for next year!!
