Somehow missed rolecall, probably cause I was yapping with Leah and Dan so my swim time was off (still probably wrong but thems the brakes!) I swam again with a race top on again and it will be the LAST time. The drag I get far outways the time i would save in T1. Otherwise it was a good swim, passed a few people and pretty much had the lanes to myself.

Pay attn to the seed call out so my time is not all messed up, I was listed at 18+ mins instead of the 13 minutes I had on my watch...oh well, oh and no more tri tops.

Amazing T1, I was into my shoes and out the door nice and fast. Next year I'll buy some tri shoes to get even faster, the right strap on my helmet somehow got messed up, so it took a couple extra seconds to staighten it out...

Not much, getting faster every time!

This was a great bike race for me, I had a plan and stuck to it. take it easy on the first 5 and last 3 KM's. I went out easy and stayed easy. What was hard was that I was still passing people. A lot of people. By 4 KM I had already gone past 11 people and I was taking easy. Made me wonder if I WAS taking it easy! At 5 KM I put the hammer down, it was a Sprint after all! I was screaming by a bunch of people and it would seem that I passed all but 4 people. Rock on! Consolation prize = I was fastest on the bike and fastest OA...so far...

Go faster, I held back and felt great, I loved it, HAMMER! I love my bike and the legs that make hime go fast!

Here is the mind fart; unbuckled my helmet chin strap too early and got nailed with a 2 minute penalty. Instead of 6th it would have been 3rd and if I hadn't messed up my swim seeding, I would have had second..."if ifs were horses, beggars would ride" my mom used to say...still a great T2 and things were smooth.

listen to the ref's yelling at me, I found out later that if I had stopped and put my strap back on, I would not have been penalized..live and learn, that's the way I roll.

Holy crap, I don't why someone would make H2GU but it should be banned! I took a drink of the stuff on the way out of T2 and I thought I was going to die, not too sure if it was the drink that did it to me but can't think of what else it could have been, add on another 2+ mins for the stopping, limping, groaning I did over the first 1 3/4 KM. 5th place came up behind me (I passed her in T2) like a herd of rhinos, I thought I was dead but found out that races like me, "Seek and Destroy!" Find your competition, hunt them down and pass them at all costs! Love it, I shut off the pain in my guts and chased her down, she made almost 50 seconds on me right away but I caught her and kept on her heels. We passed Leah who told us we were 5 and 6, that made us really hammer, 5th took off and it was all I could do to keep her in my sights, I gained on her a bit but the cramping was coming back in the last KM wich slowed me down again. I came in a bit slower than I wanted and with a 29th OA run, I need to dig a hole and climb in...very embarassing!

Never drink H2GU again...put them out of business...make anyone handing out this product disappear for ever.

Had some ART massage, ate muffins, watched peby finish (he is one hell of a fast runner, almost caught me...hehehe...almost!)


Gravity. Too many rules.


Great race, will be back for next year...if I'm not banned that is :)
