Pleased with swim time. Only real problem was I swam directly into the sun and got a bit off course on the first loop...also had a hard time finding the bouy on the way out. I was way in front of the pack..lot's of smooth water. Nice.

Hmm...not much. Maybe take it out faster and try to find the bouy as I begin the swim, not during it.

had issues with getting on my helmet. Got my shoes and socks on good...but at the last minute I decided to toss on a shirt...and it got stuck on my helmet. sheesh.

Monster hills. I biked slower at this tri than I did at Kalamazoo. I flew down one hill going 37mph...I had to climb it on the way back...and it took all I had not to hop off my bike and walk it.

Hope that I get faster at some point...please, for the love of god. It is so frustrating/ demoralizing being fast in the water and slow on the bike.

Had a honey packet and some gatorade after getting off the bike...didn't sit well at all. Felt like I was going to vomit for most of the run. I could have gone much faster, but it took all the determination I had to run the pace I did without "losing it".

maybe try to eat something during the race? Stop using honey and go back to gu? hmm...

collapsed.


errr...my tummy.


They could have had more volunteers...had a great variety of snacks and drinks, plus a raffle. I had a good time and all, but I was definitely spoiled by the greatness of the Seahorse Challenge two weeks back.
