after rounding the last bouy, I had trouble sighting. lots of bodies early on. B/c there were only 10 females, they combined the males and females into one wave. that was interesting. I had a little trouble w/ goggles. Had to adjust them a few times, but much better than Kona.

went ok. wetsuit came off easily.

Course was flat.
The back of my right knee was really hurting. I guess I should have stretched it more. I didn't know if I'd be able to run. My saddle was too low I found out later.

stretch more and make sure bike is at proper settings.

ok. should have put on sunscreen as sun was coming out.

knee felt good on the run. Helped loosen it up. I was surprised how good I felt. Used Jessi's GSP thingy. so cool! was able to gage my distance and pace. I gotta get on of those. I felt much better than Kona, (and was about 15 minutes faster) although it wasn't as hot and the terrain was very different. But I was pleasantly surprised by my performance.

not much. tried to stretch.


First year for the race, so not too many people.
B/c I was the only one in my age group, I grabbed the first place, so that means I quailfy for age group nationals in August.
Jessi came out to support me. I was so excited she was there. She made all the difference. Friends are truly blessings from God.
