It seems to take forever for the suit to some off. There was a VERY long run from the water to tansition, so I was really winded.

There was some confussion coming back in and people getting onto the course in additon to cars. The OPP did not do a very good job at directing traffic at that corner.

My legs were SOOO tired. I also did not rack my bike very well. Sorry Jeff if I took up more space!

Post race
Warm down:

I just walked around. I felt very strong after the race. My knees felt GREAT!!!!! I would have liked to have had a better time. I won't be doing another try-a-tri, I think that the pace is just too face and you don't really get to enjoy the race.

Really glad to have my friend Jenna with me today at the race!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I just don't know how to push myself.

Event comments:

It did not make sence to have registration at the pavillion and body painting in transition. I almost forgot! They changed the swim course but stil posted that origional one. It would have been helpful is someone just marked it up to show the change!

It took a very long time for race results to be posted. There was to time display.
