![]() Swim
Comments: The swim was crazy. The waves were HUGE! I had never encountered such big waves before. It seemed everytime I came up for air I got a mouth full of water. It didn't help that I didn't have enough time to put my swim cap on correctly so I kept stopping to put it back on my head correctly. It was a mess. It was the worse swim start that I have EVER had. I almost turned around but I'M SO GLAD I DIDN'T. I didn't want a DNF by my name! ![]() Transition 1
Comments: This was a blurrrrrrrrr..... ![]() Run
Comments: I made a pact with myself. I would run until the turnaround. When I finally got to the turnaround, well, I kept running. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THAT I RAN THE ENTIRE 5K. And I had my fastest time ever. I'm so excited. I even sprinted at the end. It was so kick ass. Whoo Hoo! I'm a stud. I'm so proud of my run. NEVER in a million years would I have thought I'd do better on my run than my swim but I did. What would you do differently?: Run a little faster. ![]() Post race
Event comments: Well, I can't believe that I tried to turn around and not do this. I'm so excited that I ran the entire 5K. I mean, I've never done it before in a two sport race. Whoo Hoo. Last updated: 2004-07-28 12:00 AM

Driving through traffic for about two and half hours. I left work at 3:30 and arrived at the Boulder Res just before the race start at 6 p.m. I was so out of whack. I barely had time to use the bathroom and put on my wetsuit. I didn't even know the course, I could barely see the buoys and I even missed them a couple of times. More on that later.
When I got to the registration table they didn't have my name and then I had to go to another table to get my number and I didn't even know what my number was. It was crazy. Then I ran into Cogirl and that was fun.
