 Swim
Comments: Apparently I am directionally challenged!! I was more winded on this swim that I thought I would be. And the extra 50-100 yds. probably did nothing to help my time...I can't swim straight for the life of me. Overall, a pretty good swim. Anytime there is minimal seaweed its a good day. What would you do differently?: Navigate better. Warm up.  Transition 1
Comments: Damn wetsuit. I got to the T area and sat on my new fangled bench. LOVE IT! Dried off a bit after tearing off my wetsuit and made sure that I did some GU...YUCK! Then took some water and was off. I was WAY more winded here than I thought...probably do to the uphill run to the transition area. What would you do differently?: Breath...  Bike
Comments: The bike still just kills me. But this is the highest pace average I have had. It seemed that all the hills were at the end, but it may have been that I just noticed them more. What would you do differently?: Keep pedaling... Transition 2
Comments: Went in the wrong aisle to rack my bike...mistake one. Then just felt like I fumbled around. But it wasn't too bad. This was the first race with quick laces and I really liked them. What would you do differently?: Definitely know where my rack is....fo' sure!  Run
Comments: I'm not a runner...obviously. This was a difficult, hilly, rooty, wet run. Don't get me wrong it was beautiful. I have done no hill training and it just really kicked my butt. What would you do differently?: Run more. Hill training. More mental will power. I really think I can run if my brain would just shut up and let my body do it. Post race
Warm down: Ate bananas, sandwich and gatorade. Watched some other finishers. What limited your ability to perform faster: Need more running. Shin splints and leg pain are really limiting. Last updated: 2008-06-02 12:00 AM

Got up at 5:30a.m. Ate breakfast (bagel/peanut butter). Headed off to the race site. Got to the race site around 6a.m. and set up transition.
Really didn't do a lot of warm-up...I need to learn how to do this. I just feel rushed to get my transition area together and then don't want to move anything. In the future, I really need to stretch more and maybe jog a bit. And then make myself get in the water and swim a bit. I always feel better after that.
