Swim
Comments: I don't have any official times for the splits, this tri didn't offer it. (no chips/mats) All times are off of my husbands watch. What would you do differently?: Be more aggressive in the start - we went through lily pads and slime and it was sort of repulsive and smelly. Guess I need to harden up, huh? Find someone and draft...I didn't catch anyone because I was too far away from the pack. Transition 1
Comments: Flew through transition - it was a few hundreds yards away. Ran up a newly paved road to get to it.....couldn't have done it any faster, I think. What would you do differently?: nothing Bike
Comments: Loved the bike portion - I wasn't setting any course records by any means, but I was very happy with my overall performance. It felt awesome and it's always been my hardest area! Cornering still scares me - I have nightmares about wiping out... What would you do differently?: Not much - get a lot more practice I think. :0) Transition 2
Comments: I don't have any more split times as my husband didn't keep track after the bike portion. :-( T2 felt good though - I beat him out of the area but he caught up to me within a half mile. What would you do differently?: Nothing Run
Comments: The run course sucked, quite frankly. It was all in the sun, and it followed a sidewalk that you had to run around 6 times. Boring and hot sums it up. Coming into the finish you had to make a very hard left turn and there was no way you could get a hard kick in. They really need to address this and come up with a better course. What would you do differently?: Run faster - I was worried about it being too hot and burning out, but I feel like I had too much left at the end of the race. Post race
Warm down: Walked around a bit, cheered for the rest of the people coming in. (my husband! - They messed up the count of laps for him and he ended up doing a half mile extra.....I told him it was penance for not doing the swim) What limited your ability to perform faster: Just myself/training Event comments: Not much to do after - they offered just gatorade and bananas, but it was a small tri. Did the awards ceremony much too late. (a full hour after the race was finished) Last updated: 2008-07-01 12:00 AM

Arrived in just enough time to get my husband through registration - he decided to do the bike and run as my support (he didn't want to do the swim).
Swam the course once through to warm up - it's a short swim and I wanted to be ready to sprint....felt good at the start.
