Post race
Warm down:

walked around a bit, ran into some old friends, (yes, i have friends) and ate some banananananananas

What limited your ability to perform faster:

lack of strength in my legs, lack of cardiovascular ability and lack of intestinal fortitude. i did place 5th in the chicks that's kinda nice.

Event comments:

it was the first year, and they can make HUGE improvements, check out mitrigirls race report, she had a HALF MILE transition run to her bike:0

after the race i looked up your race number and was walking around looking at everyone's arms and legs, sorry that we didn't coordinate better.  did you have a good time?  are you gonna do another one this year?  if so we will have to plan better, i think i'm gonna do clark lake next week and i know a few others will be there, racing and watching.  it would be cool if you could come, too.

I think I am going to come out and volunteer next week. I am 100% OK with not coordinating it I was a nervous mess.

I had a rough time in the water. No wetsuit and I hyperventilated and almost turned around to DNF. A woman told me to "suck it up" (nicely) and I did. Then a woman behind me got into trouble and I got slowed down getting her help. We were overswum by the men (what moron thought to let the men go after the women?) but once I was halfway through the swim I stopped freaking out about the cold and dug in and did OK. I was last in my AG but someone had to be. What amazes me is I was not last overall : ) Did I have a good time? OH MY GISH YES! The best time of my life.

The results are up but it is like reading a foreign language. They are all run together.
