![]() Swim
Comments: goggles were leaking at the start. Had to stop and readjust. Swimming in a blender. Arms and legs everywhere. Never had a space to call my own. Had trouble getting a good rythym going. But overall pleased with my time. ![]() Transition 1
Comments: I got out of the wetsuit after leaving theexit chute. The transition area was quite a distance from the lake and I knew it would be easier to do it without the wetsuit on. This transition area was HUGE. So that and it's distance from the lake made for a long T1. I was pretty quick putting on shoes and helmet, but it was pretty far to the exit and there were people walking. I just ran around them. Saw Donna in T1 and we were gone. ![]() Bike
Comments: I loved this course. I doubt I'll do this race next year, but I'll do the FIRM's version of Webster a few weeks earlier. Same course without the Danskin bells and whistles, and a lot less people. Might volunteer to help with the swim for Danskin. I really like the whole "swim angel" concept. Especially great for all the first-timers involved in a race of this size. ![]() Transition 2
Comments: ran all the way back to the far end of the transition area. Passed a much older woman who informed me that she had to pee! I told her to go in her shorts and rinse her legs with a water bottle.....I wonder what she did!? What would you do differently?: nothing, it was fine. ![]() Run
Comments: gave up all my time on the run. Left knee was killing me. Scared to go to ortho dr, scared not to. ![]() Post race
Warm down: nothing really. It was raining by the time I finished. crossed the line, grabbed a water, headed over to transition area. Found friends, said goodbye to max and we left. Back to the hotel (and our late checkout time) to shower and have lunch before we all hit the road. What limited your ability to perform faster: oh, come on now....you know the answer to this already! Event comments: Danskin & FIRM always do a good job. Last updated: 2004-08-01 12:00 AM

Spent the night at a hotel in Worcester with Evelyn and Donna. We were up at 4 and out the door about a half hour later. I wanted to park at a lot up the street from the race so we could leave whenwe wanted. If we parked at the lake we'd be stuck there til the very end. We all had a 2 hour ride home so that was not going to happen. Arrived before 5, dropped Donna and our stuff off at the lake then went to park. Got coffee then Evelyn and I rode our bikes to the lake. Set up our stuff, went down to the water and watched the bouys being placed. I went for a short swim, water was nice.
Did another short swim before getting into the chute with my wave.
