Swim
Comments: Overall ranks are actually the female rankings... there are no results for overall. This was a good swim for me, I had no difficulties finding my own space. I did have some navigational problems, but not bad. The water was warmer than the air, so I was glad to get in! Transition 1
Comments: Yikes, I could not get my wetsuit off! It was a little annoying. The transition run was LONG. They had carpet laid down over gravel, but it was still pretty hard on the feet. What would you do differently?: More body glide? Sit down? I don't know.... I don't usually have a problem with my wetsuit. Bike
Comments: This was TOUGH! I was standing on almost all hills and wasn't sure how to pace myself. I could have gone harder on the few flats there were (which weren't really flats!), but I was afraid I'd run out of steam. I passed alot of people, but got lapped by the lead men. What would you do differently?: Ride more hills! This is a different course from anything I have every done. I wasn't prepared, I most definitely do not know how to ride hills. Transition 2
Comments: This was a little rough. My legs were so tired I could barely lift my leg over the seat of my bike. I felt a little disoriented here. Run
Comments: And once again, my run time pulls me down.. sigh... I actually felt really good about this run. Going out I thought, this will be miserable, my legs are so tired. But I did what I had planned. Found a pace I could live with and gradually started pushing it. The first 5 km were rough, but the last 5 km were faster and felt pretty good. HR was above 162 at 5 km. I took my fuel belt on this run which really helped. I didn't have to break my groove to drink and I can't drink out of a paper cup anyways. Had to pee, but couldn't... rainbowtrout would have caught me :) (not to mention the bear!) What would you do differently?: Not completely freeze my water bottle! It never completely unthawed and caused my fuel belt to keep twisting around. It drove my crazy! Post race
Warm down: Kids were snaky, so just loaded up and went for lunch. Was actually feeling a little sickly, but was better after lunch. What limited your ability to perform faster: Not knowing how hard I could push on the bike. Event comments: This was a great race, just really tough! I originally thought I wouldn't do it again, but I'm already changing my mind! Last updated: 2008-06-25 12:00 AM
