![]() Swim
Comments: WOO HOO, WOO HOO, WOO HOO. Sorry I'm just a little excited. My swim was under 2 min per 100 m. I'VE NEVER GONE LESS THAN 2 MIN PER 100 M in practice or any of my other races. I was so stoked about this. I didn't found out about it until after the race. But after finding out about this I didn't care about the bike and the run. Yeahhhhh! What would you do differently?: I am very happy with my swim. The water was cold and it took me a while to get used to it. But after the fist 200 m, boy I really turned it on. Several swimmers passed me on the way out but on the way back I passed them all and then some. I had a great swim race. ![]() Transition 1
Comments: This was a little crazy. I couldn't get my darn wetsuit off. Even though they had strippers there's just something weird about strangers taking off anything from your body even if it is a wetsuit. I couldn't take the chance of a boob popping out and embarrassment so I decided to off the wetsuit myself. BAD IDEA. Took toooooo long. OMIGOD I would have came in under two hours if I had a quicker transition time! Ughhh! What would you do differently?: Use the strippers! ![]() Bike
Comments: I suck at bike. What would you do differently?: No suck at bike. ![]() Transition 2
![]() Run
Comments: Ran as much as I could. Have to see my times to seehow good I really did. Saw my results and they sucked. Oh well. It's on the treadmill this winter. ![]() Post race
Warm down: FREE FOOD. Sat down and had lunch with a couple of newbies. What limited your ability to perform faster: Uh, I'm slow! Event comments: This by far has been the best race. Just the right amount of people and well organized! Loved the course even the bike and really enjoyed myself. I think it's the first time I just went out there and had fun. Danskin was all about training but this one was all about fun. Hey, I kicked butt on the swim! Doing the same course was great. I just realized that I improved on every leg. My swimming, biking and running were all faster than my last tri at this course. Guess training is paying off. My transition time was a suckier though. Ugghhh. Got to practice getting that wetsuit off! Woo Hoo. I'm a stud. Yeahhhhh! Last updated: 2004-08-03 12:00 AM

Woke up before the sunrise. Which was difficult since I stayed up past 11 p.m. wathing "Underworld." I had seen this "B" movie with A special effects at the theater but I got a kick out of the lovestory between the Vampire and the Liken. Probably shouldn't have watched "Anaconda," either right before an open water race. But heck I don't have cable at home so this is the only time I get to watch it!
Checked out and drove to race site. Transition area was first come first serve to I parked my bike next to the front. This was my first event with men at the same time so it was kinda' interesting doing set up. I was laying out all my stuff - red Michael race prep story and had everything together - but couldn't find my timing chip. I started to panic a little and this guy was like Aw don't worry about it I'm sure they have another one. He didn't seem to realize that I didn't want to pay the $30 to replace one. But found the chip in my trusty bike pack.
Ate 1/2 cup of yogurt and a plum. Too nervous to eat much. Put on wetsuit and went down to the beach for swim start.
