 Swim
Comments: This is tri #2 for me. I enjoyed the clear water, less swimming over/into people. My time is pretty slow, but it gives me room to improve. The distance was to be 750 meters, but we were told later that the buoys did not drift in as expected and the distance was 1200 meters. I felt good knowing that afterward...I swam a longer distance than I thought! What would you do differently?: Keep working on building endurance  Transition 1
Comments: Looks like I took a nap during T1, but I didn't. Had unusually difficult time getting running shoes on. What would you do differently?: washcloth for drying feet, use body glide?  Bike
Comments: I put slicks on my mtn bike after my first tri. The tires are a noticable improvement. What would you do differently?: Improve endurance, speed, and climbing Someday I will have a race bike, for now my very old mtn bike will do. Transition 2
Comments: Took the long route to get to my rack, even though I practiced coming in and going to my bike rack, several times the day before.  Run

Warm down: walk around banana, yogurt, and Propel Event comments: Lots of Fun!!! Very Emotional to see women of all ages, sizes, abilities there to have a great time and great race. One of my co-workers did not know how to swim before April, and she did it! The size was overwhelming. I am glad that I had done a smaller one the first time. Transitions at this large race felt more like a party so I know I did not mentally work for time.

Next year I would like to try the Danskin Team in Training so I can train with a group. Last updated: 2004-03-29 12:00 AM

Woke up at 4:40. My husband and I shuttled to race.
Breakfast: banana, Luna bar, coffee
None, I knew that I should get in the water and warm-up, but with so many people in the swim start area, I was afraid I would not work my way through the crowd for my wave....Next time, I will do the swim warm-up.
