Swim
Comments: I felt terrible on this swim. My arms felt like lead in warm-up and never got better. I just felt tired, before I even started. My form fell apart, but my hubby says I stayed on a 1:40/100 pace the entire time. I was first position, so no drafting for me. I did pass the 3rd place guy, though. The time wasn't terrible, but it could have been so much better. I've been swimming 7:30 in practice. What would you do differently?: Better pre-race rest. Transition 1
Comments: This T1 time included a LONG run up a hill to transition area. I felt my actual transition couldn't have gone better. Bike
Comments: I started this bike feeling as I'd already done it. My legs were so fatigued. What would you do differently?: I need to ride more hills and longer rides to gain endurance. Transition 2
Comments: Included long run across transition. Run
Comments: I tried to push this, but got a terrible side cramp at mile 2. I slowed it down and then pushed it up the hill the rest of the way. I've decided I'm too far out from giving birth, because my "childbirth is harder" mantra doesn't work any more. Post race
Warm down: gatorade, beer, walked around What limited your ability to perform faster: I know these will sound like excuses but I went camping the entire week before. I slept an average of 4 hours a night. I have a sinus infection and I felt horrible. My surgeon had warned me that I would have decreased indurance for a full year after my surgery...so maybe that's it. Either way, I just felt yucky and exhausted this entire race.
