Went pretty well, i didn't get sucked in too bad in the washing machine, I tried to draft quite a bit, but didn't work out very well. was able to draft on and off on the way out, and all on my own on the way back. I still really need to work on that!

Not too much, just working on drafting!

The zipper got stuck and i wasn't able to get it down until the 3rd try, which by that point, i was at my bike. i don't know why it got stuck, but it was annoying. after i got the suit off i was speedy and outta there!

Make sure my zipper does stick :)

I feel like i would be able to race better if i were better at the technical aspects of biking - i.e. cornering with lots of speed, turning quickly etc. this just comes with practice and is another excuse for me to start bike racing! Overall, pretty good. it was a little weird because they started the sprint right after we left for the swim, so during the bike i passed a bunch of people doing the sprint. I hung with some good cyclists, they would pass me, then i would stay 20 feet back from them for quite a while, then i either passed them and never saw them again, or they pulled ahead :)

I still am trying to figure out the nutrition part of this. i drank my aerobottle of water, 1/2 a bottle of HEED, and at one GU (about 5-7 miles) on the bike. I felt like i was taking in a little too much calories (with the heed), so i didn't take another gu around 20 miles, like i had previously planned. so, this is just a constant learning point. i also feel like i should be able to ride faster. i bike quite a bit and i don't like getting passed by people!

Went pretty well, i forgot to tighten my yankz until i was on the course :) the lady next to me who just racked her bike took up all the space, so i had to wait a sec for her to move her bike over. body glide'd my feet, put on my shoes and rolled out!

make sure to rack next to smarter people :) - no, just remember to tighten my shoes before i leave T2

The run went pretty well, i just tryed to go out steady and get in the groove, which i did pretty well. i ran the whole thing with a guy i had been back and forth on the bike with, and i talked to him some, so that was cool. definitly need to get in better running shape, it still takes a lot out of me. with the detour, im not sure if the time should be about what it is or more or less. . so i am kind of skeptical on the exactness of my time, but i figure it can only be +- 30 seconds or so. shins felt/feel great though!

make sure to check out the routes before the race. run more often

walked around, grabbed 2 bottles of water and walked around the transition area. found some shade, stretched, then walked some more and hit up the food tent.


i didnt actually feel that good this morning, my HR seemed higher then normal, when i wasn't doing anything, and i have felt run down the last few days, i think just because of a change in schedule. but apparently, i performed well (for me :) ). i feel like i have a lot of room for improvement, and i am looking forward to see what i can do when i get the proper amount of training for all 3 sports in!


Fun little, not the most organized, but good enough. lots of water stops on the run, which was great, and pulled pork bbq sandwiches after the race! that was pretty nice.
