This was my first swim in compition so I assume its normal to get kicked in the head several times while trying to swim. But overall this was a great swim. I was a little overwhelmed at first but I got into a groove and just swam my race.

I just need to get more OWS in I'll get better with time.

This is were I fell apart I could not get my zipper on my suit down when I finaly got my suit down I stepped away and my towl stuck to my foot and wipped out my suff I had layed out. Reached for my helmit and kicked it away and had to chase it down ( felt like keystone cops ). But I did get out of the transition area.

Just relax.

This was a great ride had a good pace the hill 4.5 miles in was a little tough but not long.Coming back down there wwas car in the road that blocked me for a while they finaly pulled over and let me by.

I dont know this felt realy good maybe more long bike rides and some sprints.

This was much better than T1 racked bike, helmit off took a shot of hammer gel and water and off I went.

I think this was a good transition.

The run starts out with a steep hill and then into the neighborhood. There was a couple more hills but not bad. I kept up my pace all the way, I tried to kick it in but did not have any more in me at the end.

Do more TRIs and more running.

Walked about drank water and cheered the other finishers. There was a Barbq afterwords and awards and prizes. This is a great race put on by great people will do this one again.


I need more swimming and running practice and relax in the T1.


This was my first TRI so I dont have a lot of races to compare to but I had a lot of fun.
