This was a good swim for me. I got my rhythm by the second bouy. I really felt strong on this swim.
my goal was sub 10 min.

always swim faster!

This was a fairly long run from the water to the T area. I knew it would be challenging, but i managed to run the whole time.

i fumbled a bit with my shoes, need to work on that.

This was a good bike course, nice and flat with some fairly sharp turns thrown in.
I felt like i coudl go faser on teh bike, but i really wanted to save my legs for the run. I ahve a tendency to trash my legs for the run. I felt good though becaue i did not see any other Athenas on teh bike course.

i need to break 20 mph avg on the bike for a race.

This was ok. Fumbled with socks for a few extra seconds.

I saw the one Athena i was trying to beat as i was running out and she was going into T. So i picked it up and did my first mile in 8:41. I knew i could not hold that pace, so i backed off and held half mary race pace. I did walk through the aid stations just bring HR down so i didnt get Anaerobic.

My run is always the challenge. When i started this last year, i knew that if i made it to the run, i would survive. but now i think differently having had trouble running the in past. So i just need to work at harder and faster brick workouts.
I will say that this is the fastest 5k run during a sprint that i have had ever.

Got some water and orange slices adn waited for results to post. Then had to wait for Awards ceremony since i got 1st Ath. Hung with my NAMC peeps and chatted about teh annoying gnats and ants.


confidence in my ability to race.


This race was great becasue of teh venue and GA Multisport. I just felt like it was a bit unorganzied after. They ran out of medals and they didnt have all of teh awards plaques. And where was the Watermelon??
