Swim
Comments: So, everyone knows I suck at swimming so just completing this was a good thing. It was super cold, took my breath away, tried NOT to panic (which was hard) and tried to control the rythum of my breathing (which I never did). So....I basically gasped my way to the finish with various side strokes, back strokes and some doggy-paddling.... What would you do differently?: I think I should invest in a swim coach or even more lake swimming should help! Transition 1
Comments: I was soo happy to get out of the water and jogged to T1 (thanks Dave for jogging with me!) OH, I almost forgot when I was getting on my bike, my tire basically was off....thanks again Dave for putting it back on! (yeah, if he and the T1 volunteers didn't notice it, I would've busted my azz going up hill) What would you do differently?: I need to be more organized with my crapola fo sho....it had been raining so all my stuff was still in my bag so I had to dig through it to get my shoes on. Bike
Comments: I felt good on the bike...however, everyone and their momma's passed me (they did, i did the women's only....LOL) Well, I passed one lady and she was "mature" but I don't care, I'm counting her as a pass! What would you do differently?: Not sure, how do I get faster on the bike besides keep riding? Uh?....learn more about gears....oh and the anatomy of my bike! Transition 2
Comments: Off the back and determined to pass some peeps on the run. Run
Comments: Well, I did pass some peeps on the run, but I guess I wasn't that determined because I was thinking that I should pace myself (which caused me to run slower than usual) and by the end I, of course, had all this energy to finish! What would you do differently?: I really need to improve my running by increasing my speed and STOP running in my comfort zone! Post race
Warm down: Walked around, strecthed a little, had some food. What limited your ability to perform faster: me Event comments: Well, I know I could have done alot better but hey, this was my first official tri of the season...all I can do is improve huh?.....Definitely have alot to learn and I'm soaking in as much as I can! Thanks to everyone who helped thus far and to those I'll prolly annoy asking more questions in the future! HA....love the donks! Last updated: 2008-02-26 12:00 AM
