I couldn't see where the markers where. I had a really bad swim...could've down better. Need a wetsuit that doesn't resist ME!

Really check out the course before I went for it. If the weather was better I might have swam the day before.

It was hard to do anything with frozen hands and wet everything. I took my time here. Dried off, put warm layers on, ate then went out.

Not much I could do in the rain. At least I kept my stuff dry with garbage bags.

I had the best bike ride of my life. I felt great. I couldn't have been happier...well..maybe if I went a little harder.

Not be so afraid to push myself.

This was a good transition, minus the fact that I had to pee sooooo bad!!!


Pee'd on the bike...LOLOLOLOLOL

I could've done without the pavement, but at least I felt good on the second part of the run...I wished I had broken the two hour threshold :o{

Push myself a bit more in the beginning. I felt good on the last half...I did a negative split...which always makes me happy.

Chat with friends, eat, pack up and ride back to the hotel.


Faith.


At one point on the bike my chapstick fell out of my bento box and I turned around to pick it up...I know, I know...I'm crazy..but I felt bad about littering AND I really liked that chapstick. Probably lost about a minute with the whole ordeal. BUT in the grand scheme of things the whole race was great. I wish everyone could feel as good as I did on the bike. I kept looking down and saying "are these my legs". I PR'd my 56 mile bike distance by about 1 hour...so I'm pretty stoked.

Had a MAD chocolate chip cookie afterwards that had four different types of chocolate chips in it and little caramel chunks! Also I had the greatest coffee at Nautical Bean in Oceanside...made me want to move down there.
