This was a goos swim for me, but a bit slower than i woudl want. However, i did finally swim the swim leg and not gasp my way through it. I want to be faster but i am just not sure how to be....The feild was crowded which made it tougher to around the bouy.

swim faster

THis transition was tough becasue there was a knarly hill into T that we had to run up. And it was long too. Otherwise i spent a few extra seconds trying to make sure i had everything and to catch my breath.

run faster

Well i thought i was going faster than i actually did. My bike computer was not reading correctly. So i was not as fast as i wanted it to be and as i thought it was. But overall i feel like i did well on this course.

go faster...

this was a long run from the dismount line to the rack.

Kept a fuel belt botle of accelerade with me, which was perfect. This run was tough for me, my right ham string was cramping onme, and i knoew that would happen. It has been bothering me for a couple of weeks. I found myslef walking more than i would have liked, but i fininshed strong.

run more...

walked around and visited with people


i am not really sure how to answer this. I have been training a lot the last few weeks but still i was slow for this race. I cant seem to find race day energy to catapult me into overdrive and get faster.
Although i will say that this is the first race where i finally felt like a real triathlete and not a newby trying to survive. :) Now, just need to be a fast triathlete.


This race was great, very well suported and lots of volunteers. The iron girl org puts on an awesome race!
