 Swim
Comments: water was clearer than expected- only a few veggies floating by, started to the back but still had a lot of people criss crossing in front of me - seems like I'd get a rhythm going & would have to shift due to others- overall for me it could have been worse- and can always be a lot better What would you do differently?: i just really need to improve my swim  Transition 1
Comments: first time i used a one piece suit- felt like I was forgeting something as I left transition! What would you do differently?: shoes on bike-  Bike
Comments: could probably have improved my time a bit- but I was concerned about saving something for the run. Need a 2nd water cage on my bike. What would you do differently?: more liquids. Transition 2
Comments: rack was close to entrance-and some wise soul had marked the rack w/ a ballon- coming in from the bike my rt pedal clip was stuck- really had trouble getting rt foot off the bike What would you do differently?: fix the shoe thing, carry more water, be a bit more aggressive  Run
Comments: as came in on bike felt backs of legs- calves & hamstrings really tight- was really concerned might get cramping issues...tried a gel & few oz water at run start- 1st time used gel- and used the 1st 3 water stops HR was higher than I liked for much of the run- What would you do differently?: need to work on hydration/nutrition so it's not hit or miss. Could possibly have gone a bit faster- might have been enough to catch #1 who ran by me @ mile 3 . Post race
Warm down: those heavenly sponges at the finish! walked around- didn't really stretch & should have What limited your ability to perform faster: fear of burning out , nutrition/hydration and just needing to get my speed up, learn how hard I can push wothout blowing up Event comments: Mass BTers made this a really fun race- and a surprise 2nd in my AG made it a good day also. I love this sport! Thank you Max, Laura, May, Kathy G.,Joe, Joe, Glen,Amanda and the rest of the BT crew - aren't we lucky to be able to have this much fun & be legal ??!!

Max, Joe and I were walking over to go see prelim results and when we heard your name we started screaming like a bunch of crazies! We were sooo happy....I saw BODonuts taking your pic when you got your medal...I've yet to check the new pics in anyone's albums for Cranberry, but I can't wait to see them! You are a brave woman trying a gel for the first time during a first-time distance race |
Fearless, fit, fabulous, fifty - you're truly an inspiration. Next year, don't let that woman pass you!

Expert 1166 Colchester, CT | Subject: RE: Cranberry Country Triathlon Great job Joanne on getting second in your age group, although I have to protest, there is no way you are supposed to be in the 50-54 age group Chris |

| Pro 4612 MA | Subject: RE: Cranberry Country Triathlon I agree with Max that you don't look like 50-54. Congrats on your 2nd place and hope to meet you in some raes in the future. |

| Master 1946 | Subject: RE: Cranberry Country Triathlon WOW Careful- all these Kudos are going to my head! I had a great time-Isn't it so cool to just do things that are FUN- swim , bike, run (after all this is how kids PLAY!) stay healthy in the process- meet like minded people - and keep setting new goals- who knows - maybe we can have a Team Bt at Kona! |

| Frugal Gear Geek 2199 having fun with the kids | Subject: RE: Cranberry Country Triathlon Ok first off, congrats again on the hardware. When I asked you what the 54 was for, I never bothered to do the math. In my mind you were much closer to my age, like late 30's. When I realized (post race delirium) that you medaled in your age group, I did the math and my mouth hit the floor. The ID's need to be checked better for age groups Second, thank you for being brave enough to join me an Mark for dinner on Sat. Your pressence lightend up the conversation an I had a great time. Look foward to seeing you again. |

| Expert 1180 Iowa | Subject: RE: Cranberry Country Triathlon Congratulations on a great race, and a great season (I looked in on some of your other races). You're in the 50-54 age group?!? I saw Max's pictures. Come on, I bet the competition is asking for a DOB audit! Nice work. |
