![]() Swim
Comments: Started way back & to the side- then just looked for clearer spots. Mixed bag - veering off course w/ too much freestyle, plus having trouble w/ breathing, used more breast stroke than wanted to Not craxy about being run into & over by other navigationally challenged swimmers........ Overall tho- it wasn't as bad as I feared- and I didn't drown. What would you do differently?: Technique, Technique, Technique. Speed. Be more aggressive at start. ![]() Transition 1
Comments: Back of t1 so had to traverse MANY rows to get out & in, TOO polite! People in front of me walking bikes too slow- just suffered behind them instead of going around due to narrow pathway...Need to work on jumping on & hauling out, and fitting in a decent drink instead of a sip. Hated the sandy feet- need a better system for getting rid of sand. What would you do differently?: Practice.Be more "assertive".Better system for drinking and for getting sand off. ![]() Bike
Comments: FUN!! What would you do differently?: Experience to be more efficient and effective shifting,Experience in group riding to be less timid about passing and more aggressive riding. ![]() Transition 2
What would you do differently?: Experience- Drink more, but I could have been a lot more "assertive" and gone faster on the course.Figure out end of bike to run effort level so start the run feling controlled & energetic. ![]() Run
Comments: Disappointed in run. felt hr too high, fatigued - have been much more comfortable at twice the distance.Training brick w/ same bike/longer run felt GOOD, this didn!Need to figure this out. Had been looking forwrd to the run . What would you do differently?: Think hydration/energy a factor, but need to sort out HR etc.Also would go for it to sprint at end- held back in anticipation of target race in 3 wks - and of not throwing up at the finish line ! ![]() Post race
Warm down: Walked around, gradually sipped water, then watermelon eventually a few halfhearted stretches. Walked bike back to car. What limited your ability to perform faster: ?hydration? ? fuel? Not pushing harder for fear of failure! Event comments: Course seemed appropriate for first race.Well organized. Large field, but great camraderie.Nothing to compare as far as post race activities-wasnt really quite sure of what to do w/ myself afterwards- not ready to go home, but..... Overall- great race for a first time female triathlete. Last updated: 2004-06-07 12:00 AM

Overall Rank = 550/1604
Age Group = 45-49
Age Group Rank = 0/
Had to be at race site 5:30- couldn't find ANY fresh blueberries locally so had to settle for peaches & yogurt, (This seemed important at the time!)and 2 slice of cinnamon toast, 1 1/2 cups coffee. Basically just walked around nervously & soaking it in, after pumping up tires and setting up transition area.Didn't sleep much - maybe 3 hrs.
Just wlaking around trying to stay focused.
