What would you do differently?: run a bit more.... Transition 1
Comments: camel back bladder fell out of sack - had to re-load it. then I forgot to ut my chip on after removing it for getting the wetsuit off! what a dork! Bike
Comments: Had the rental road bike and I flew! Or at least felt like I did! Passed people all over the place, but was passed in turn by people who made me think I was standing still! there was a gal in a green shirt who passed me every uphill only to get passed by me - I am fearless going down! What would you do differently?: Own a road bike so I can train on one. But my training on the mtb must have paid off - I felt like I musta had a ferrari engine on a tractor until getting this road bike! felt sad returning it, but they were so happy for me they only charged me half for rental fee! Transition 2
Comments: got my chip back on..... found out they are doing the splits manually, so this did not affect. I was accused of doing anything to lighten the load on my bike! What would you do differently?: nothing Run
Comments: kinda like a slodge, but I kept it above a walk. Feet were numb from cold, butt and hands were numb from biking.... kinda figured that was all a freebie - it hurts less when you are numb! Had a stitch on mile 2 but it worked out by the end. Saw Joeinco when he was almost finished - looking stong and smug! My friend Jenni sang "Here comes the bride" to me when we passed. Stacers, Ovetta, and Coredump also looked great, kimj had pigtails a-flyin'! I choked up on mile 3 when I looked around that lovely park and thought about how my Alex would have loved to have come there to chase things. I ran the last mile for him! Post race
Warm down: more talking and beer drinking. I have to give it to Derreck for cheering me through all the way and being my personal paparazzi! Man - he was fast getting from the bike to the run before I could! Have to thank him for all his support, both via email all spring and summer and in person since he arrived in September. And thank him for waiting around after the race while I yucked it up with my fellow bt-ers! He is the best! In 3 weeks I will marry him and be the luckiest girl ever! What limited your ability to perform faster: slow runner.... I did not train alot this last month, but the rest probably did alot in alleviating my bursitis that had plagued me all year.

had people over the night before - went to bed by 10 anyway. Derreck made some kickass asian noddles with shrimp. alternated wine with gatorade and water. woke up too early and nervous - had coffee and an egg sandwich and a gatorade. Met my friends Ken (a 2 time IM) and Jenni - we had been visiting the gravel pit and biking on weekends together. Met up with all the BT-ers too! Joe lubed me up... ooolala. I was scatterbrained setting up my tranzition zone - lost my cap that was in my pocket....
Alot of talk, stretching, a swim....
