 Swim
Comments: Having never swam in a wetsuit, I had no idea what to expect. It wasn't good! I got really, really hot right off the bat. My chest was constricted and just didn't feel like I could breath. I wound up doggie paddling a majority of the course!! Thankfully there was a really nice lady in a kayak that played my personal support crew!! What would you do differently?: Practice open water swimming A LOT more and either get used to the wetsuit or not use one!  Transition 1
Comments: Was really tired from the swim, so I took my time to let my heart rate settle some! What would you do differently?: Have a better swim and practice T1 more!  Bike
Comments: The ride was about what I expected. There was some wind that slowed me down quit a bit and I was still really tired from the swim, but overall it was an ok ride. What would you do differently?: Ride more and get faster! Transition 2
Comments: Took my time and got some water. What would you do differently?: Learn to drink better on the bike  Run
Comments: Way slower than I had hoped. I think the swim just wore me out, I just couldn't seem to get a comfortable pace going! What would you do differently?: Get better at the swim and run more! Post race
Warm down: Walked around, stretched and had the coco-cola I was craving for the last half mile of the run!! What limited your ability to perform faster: Not enough training! Event comments: FS Series put on another great weekend of races! Their races are always extremely organized and tons of fun!! Looking forward to next year!! Last updated: 2012-03-25 12:00 AM

Got up around 5 and had a rice cake with PB at the hotel. Had plenty of sleep the night before, so I felt well rested! I wasn't that nervous which is a rarity!!
Got into the wetsuit and swam some since I had never used it. Felt pretty good and didn't think I was going to have any issues!
