  • Comments: I didn't have a time goal for my first Olympic distance race but was hoping to finish somewhere around 3:15. My finish time was better than I anticipated although I was a bit disappointed with my T1 time and thought I had a faster run. I am also taking into consideration the weather factor and a bad case of PMS, which slowed me down considerably on the bike and run respectively. I am overall pleased with my race and next year will be another story altogether. I plan on doing two Olympic distance races before my half-ironman and will be better prepared. I have committed myself to 1) clean eating, 2) become a better and faster runner in 2008 and 3) loose the extra weight to help acheive #2. The course was great, flat and fast, no current in the basin. I wish we would have raced under dry and warmer weather, I would have done much better if it were the case. As far as the organization goes, I have to give them 2/5. It all started last week when I received the parking pass I ordered at
