 Swim
Comments: I was swimming all over the place the first 400 meters What would you do differently?: Practice open water swimming, with an emphasis on drafting and sighting.  Transition 1
Comments: My HR just SPIKED running up the beach, and I once again felt dizzy when I got to my bike. I had to hold on to keep from falling over! Need to speed this up; transition is like free time. What would you do differently?: Really need to figure out the dizziness thing. Practice, I guess?  Bike
Comments: Didn't take it easy at beginning, like I normally do. I think that actually helped get my legs moving. Rollers still give me trouble. What would you do differently?: Keep working on the climbing. Transition 2
Comments: I missed the last turn heading into T2, which threw me a little bit. Did manage to get the shoes off pretty quickly, though. Heading out of T2, I realized I didn't know where Run Out was! Ooops. What would you do differently?: Walk through both T1 AND T2 before the race.  Run
Comments: Beautiful course through Amesbury. Only got passed a couple times, and caught several people. Took a gel about 5 minutes in. What would you do differently?: Drink some water closer to the end of the bike, so hydration isn't so hard on the run. Post race
Warm down: I drooled over some of the Orbea bikes, then stretched. Drooling counts, right? What limited your ability to perform faster: Didn't really taper or target this race, so I'm happy with the results. Event comments: Fun race, with amazing local support. People really came out to support the athletes, which really makes the experience for me. I'll keep this in mind for next year. Last updated: 2008-07-13 12:00 AM

Tried to leave early, but locked myself out of my apartment at 5:00am while letting the dog out. Luckily, buzzing the neighbors roused somebody, and I managed to bolt down some breakfast and race to the race.
No time for a warm up other than a very quick dip to make sure the water wasn't too warm for a wetsuit.
