![]() Swim
Comments: Shoulders a little tight from previous day riding 100 miles at HHH in Wichita Falls. Basically though, I am a horrible swimmer. I think my grandma could have beat me out. I will get better though. I think I most definitely have "runner's kick" after reading the article because I have been running for 11 years, cycling for 3, and swimming about 2 years. What would you do differently?: I need to devote more time to drills and technique. Do more reading, video watching, and get some coaching advice. ![]() Transition 1
Comments: No problems in transition area other than people walking in front of me. I guess I just feel that I should be moving fast the entire time. I probably look pretty spastic out there. What would you do differently?: Nothing ![]() Bike
Comments: Felt good considering the ride from the day before. I usually never get passed, but was passed by a few guys today, but at least I kept any girls (especially in my division) from passing me. Ha ha, of course, after my slow swim, all I do is play chase on the bike, which is actually kind of fun. What would you do differently?: Nothing ![]() Transition 2
Comments: Transition went smootly ![]() Run
Comments: Felt good. Course was not marked, so I was unsure of what mile I was on. I saw a 2, so I figured that was mile 2 so I kept looking for mile 3. I looked so long that before I knew it I was at the finish. What would you do differently?: Run at a stronger pace. I kept conserving energy expecting my body to finally give out after a tough weekend, but it never did. I really need to start running harder and getting out of my comfort zone. ![]() Post race
Warm down: Did not warm-down What limited your ability to perform faster: Some tightness from HHH on previous day. Poor swimming ability Event comments: Finished 4th in my division out of 12 (one girl DNF) Good race, will do it again (if I don't have an olympic distance one to do). Yucky water though.

Arrived at 6:00 am. Rode bike to transition. Set-up transition, body marked, picked up chip, ate granola bar and clif bar, and pb crackers. Had a gatorade, oj, and drank water. Sat around forever in the dark.
Did not warm-up. Walked the quarter-mile to the swim start. I was in the 7th wave so had to wait awhile.
