![]() Swim
Comments: Not a bad swim, considering :) Was not nearly as nervous as the first time. I feel like I swam better than last time. I wasn't as worried about running into people and actually put my head in the water this time. What would you do differently?: As always--train more, train harder. Next season. ![]() Transition 1
Comments: Cut down on time from last time, but not quick enough. Really need to work on this for next season. What would you do differently?: Do it faster. ![]() Bike
Comments: Was excited and nervous to use my "new" bike. Definitely was better off. About 4 miles into the bike, had a problem with the bike computer--got stuck in the spokes. Had to get off the bike at least 5 or 6 times !!!! to try and fix. I thought the course was pretty hilly--not very used to riding hills. At the bottom of one of the hills, had to jump off my bike to avoid a crash--just in time for another steep hill. So ended up having to walk my bike up that hill. The last 10 miles, I had to go to the bathroom SO BADLY, that it was hard for me to concentrate on the bike! What would you do differently?: Hmmmmmmm--lots. Wasn't very pleased with everything that went on. BUT!! Was faster than last time, and wonder what my avg speed would have been without all my mishaps. Guess the "new" bike really did help :) ![]() Transition 2
Comments: Had to stop and use the porta-potty. Didn't take TOO long, but it had to be done :) What would you do differently?: ? Not have to pee :) ![]() Run
Comments: 2 questions: 1 - Who the hell is Frank, and 2 - What did I ever do to him? All I have to say about this run is OH MY LORD! So many tough hills--I really thought I was going to die. Heard a lot of talk about Frank's killer hill, so was pretty nervous about it. The course started with a fairly large hill, and when I was done with it, I thought--they weren't kidding...Frank as tough. Only to find another hill, and then it happened...the sign read, "Frank's Killer Hill." WHAT!!! I didn't do it yet??? Needless to say, I had to walk up Frank, dying every step. Wowser. Was very happy to be done with the run. What would you do differently?: Not do this run ever again :) Seriously though...I was not rested enough and did not have enough to eat before hand. I was pretty crabby and limited myself I think. It was hard for me to get my mind into it. When I got the time back though, I was very pleasantly surprised! So that is wonderful :) ![]() Post race
Warm down: Just seeing the finish was a gift from Heaven :) Walked around, got some fruit and a bagel. Lots of water. Hung out with Tupuppy, CindyK, and Coredump. Saw Whizzer finish :) Waited for MarkK--who by the way ROCKED on his 1/2 IM...way to go Mark!!! Went for lunch and a beverage with CindyK and MarkK. They drove me back to my car (thanks guys!!!) and I went home to SLEEP! What limited your ability to perform faster: Myself. Mad at myself now, but was really stressed and tired at the beginning of the day, which just lead through the whole race. Very difficult race, in my eyes. Not sure that I'd want to do it again...not yet anyway :) Last updated: 2005-09-10 12:00 AM

Not a good night before--didn't get to bed until 1am, had to get up at 3am. English muffin, water. Left the house at 3:45.
Parked about a mile from the race, brisk walk in. Some stretching.
