Swim
Comments: We had 6-7 foot waves. It was very hard to get past the break, I must have spent at least 5 minutes trying. Also, there were large pieces of wooden branches and other things under the water. It was pretty miserable out there. What would you do differently?: Get through the break faster and not let the current take me out so far off course. Transition 1
Comments: I took off my wetsuit on the beach because of the long run up a hill to T1. I knew that the suit would dry when I got to T1 so I took the opportunity to catch my breath and take the suit off. It also made it a lot easier to run in the sand. What would you do differently?: Nothing! Bike
Comments: I almost ate it when I did the final 90 degree turn into the T1 area. What would you do differently?: Ride a little easier during the start and make sure at the end that I rest so that my legs don't cramp when I jump off the bike. Transition 2
Comments: This went very smoothly. What would you do differently?: Nothing Run
Comments: I have ITBS (iliotibial Band Syndrome) I know, I know, I should not have done this, but I couldn't help it!! I also had very bad hamstring cramps when I got off the bike. I had to stop and stretch them. What would you do differently?: Not have ITBS Post race
Warm down: I iced my knee and had some fruit. What limited your ability to perform faster: ITBS, 6 foot waves, and tree branches Event comments: The race ppl ran out of strawberries. There was nothing to do after the race. No entertainment. Last year's seemed much better. I would do this again though. It was a lot of fun trying to figure out the swim.
