Pre-race routine:

Got to the race site in good time. Realized that I forgot ALL my water bottles...D'OH!!! Phoned my husband in a panic and he came to the rescue. I am such a spaz!!

Checked my bike and ran a bit. Didn't know what to do when O Canada came on the loudspeakers while I was in the porta potty...do I stand? Get out?

Found Michel and chatted briefly...then it was time to get the old wetsuit on!

Comments:

I was having a great swim until my timing chip decided to fall off. I lost about 2 minutes farking around with it and totally lost the group I was swimming with. It just wouldn't stay on. I told the race people at the end to get rid of it.

Nothing..that wasn't my fault!

Generally a nice flat course. I didn't kill myself because I knew I had to save my legs for the hell run to come.

Had some trouble racking the bike due to other people leaving no room for mine

Comments:

This run always kicks my a$$!! And this year I had to do it twice for the Oly. Ooof.
Had some quads cramping going on...usually it's my calves...WTF??? It wasn't horrible, just a new experience for me!
Michel and I did some high 5's passing each other back and forth...cool!
What would you do differently?:

More hills training I guess!
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

Faulty velcro on timing chip and quad cramping

Event comments:

I have to say that K-town Tri puts this one to shame in terms of secuity in the T zone (anyone could get in here ) food, body marking and general organization.

Hey great job doing the olympic distance!

One question though. when you were on the bike course did you happen to see a guy on the side of the road in a team javelin tri suit repairing his bike? If so that was me, both my tires went flat.
