 Swim
Comments: I was proud of myself. I had a goal not to stop or grab a Danskin angle or grab onto one of the floating things. I don't think most races have these things but Danskin does. A lot of people needed help so I am proud do say that I was not one of them What would you do differently?: I will learn to improve my swimming techinques. My swimming is by the far the worst event. I was nervous going into it. Once I was done with the swimming I know I would be ok.  Transition 1
 Bike
Comments: The bike route felt good. It gave me a little time to rest--in a sense. There were some hills though--steep. They were hard but there were a lot of women walking their bike. Something I have never done and wasn't going to. What would you do differently?: I will kick a little more butt. I was scared to push myself too hard b/c I didn't want to tire my legs out for the run. I don't have enough expereince to know who much I can do right now. I think I could have speed it up though. Transition 2
 Run
Comments: I think i did fairly good on the run course. I told myself I wasn't going to walk and the only time that I did was while I was drinkin water. I was pretty proud about that. I also didn't want to walk on that bitch of a hill and I didn't. What would you do differently?: I want to work on my endurance and speed. I think i did pretty good but would like to improve. Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster: I think lack of experience.Also my goal was to finish, not walk, and finish in 2 hours. I did that. Hopefully my goal next time will be to beat my time and perform faster. Event comments: The race was great. I didn't expect it to be as much fun as it was. It was a great expereince. It is also addicting. I now like to work out and I like being in shape. Doing the triathlon makes me want to do more. Not for the competitivnes but for the active, heathy lifestyle. I will do a 5K in August, another Triathlon in September--Splash Tri at Sea World and I am also hoping to do the 3M Half Marathon in January. It is exciting to think these weren't even goals of mine b/c I didn't think I could do them and now they are all things I have done and will continue to do. Last updated: 2005-06-22 12:00 AM

This was my first Triathlon EVER!!! Talk about being nervous. I was doing it with my mother and cousin to get in shape for my wedding that is July 9. We trained with the Danskin Training team--Thank God. We would have been lost if we wouldn't have done that. We were still like deer in headlights but not as bad if we would have trained by ourselves.
We got to the race at 5:30 and got on a bus to the starting line and transition area. Mom's started at 7:12, Angel at 8:04 and me at 8:16. We went to the transition area to get ready and air our tires. Then we went into stress mode. We couldn't get our tires aired up and then mom realized she had a flat. It being our first tri were aren't exactly experienced in changing tires. Luckily we racked with our training team and one of the ladies fix it for us and aired up all of our tires. Talk about feeling helpless. By now it is 7:00. Mom has enough time to stop by the port-a-potty and get in line. What a morning.
Stretched alittle, had a banana, a clif bar and a sports drink.
