I felt really strong on the run, I kept thinking that I could have done the whole race faster.
What would you do differently?:

My heart rate was at/around 177 the whole time...I can't believe I can run and talk at that level.
I'm going to con't using my HR Monitor, it has been the best tool yet!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Not being out in front of the swim wave start.

Event comments:

I love TNT, but there were too many inexperienced purple heads out there.

Melissa,

I totally agree with you in regards to Team in Training.  But at least at PG they have there own waves.  Did you have problems with the guy standing in the middle of the dismount line?
