Swim
Comments: Judi ROCKED the swim!!! Her race report here: http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/forums/thread-view.asp... Transition 1
Comments: Watching transition is really fun! All kinds of crazy stories. I can't believe all of the people who forgot helmets, had helmets on backwards, tried to mount in transition and fell over. I could write a book. :) Bike
Comments: Susan had a great bike split!!!! Transition 2
Comments: Susan ran in, Judi put chip on me, and I ran off. Run
Comments: Started off a little too quickly, but I was planning on doing 4 minute run/2 minute walk intervals. It worked out pretty well. I was glad that I had a water bottle with me as I kept drinking every time I took a walk break. There were a lot of people telling me to run, but I had a plan and I wanted to stick to it. People just don't expect to see you walking during a tri I guess? I don't get nearly as many comments about the walk breaks during running-only races. As I made a turn out of the woods, I caught my arm on a prickly bush and had a bunch of stickers in my arm. Tried to pick them out and put a little water on my arm. I was doing well at keeping cool through the woods sections, but once I got to the subdivision on pavement and in the open, I started getting really warm. Switched to 2 minute run/1 minute run/walk and did the best I could to keep moving. I was really happy when I made it to the turn-around point. Dumped a cup of water on my arm and drank some PowerAde. Headed back towards the woods and started to have a little more energy. Tried to run up a hill and got a little light-headed, so I took a longer walk break. After that, I tried to run as much as I could to the finish line. I made it out of the woods and was very happy to run to the finish. Post race
Warm down: Post-race barbeque!!! What limited your ability to perform faster: Being pregnant, not enough consistent training due to school work. Last updated: 2011-04-18 12:00 AM
