Struggled just to get going-- a bit of the panicky thing going on. Still placed 2nd in AG so not displeased.

settle down to start the race... just work to get more comfortable in the water.

Struggled with the steep few steps to get the bike up out of transition. This was pretty muddy at this point and with the ACL recovery, was just praying i didn't slip. Also had major mud in the shoes -- not fun.

Pray harder for no rain. :)

Speed calculates out ok but really felt slow for me. Had to slow at some parts due to rain with the hills or turns at the bottom -- wet pavement affected performance some. Also, had to slow at one point due to traffic.

Nothing - this was a C race.

Struggled to find equipment. By this time was pouring pretty hard. Everything was soaked. Nasty section of mud coming in with the bike -- others had lost their shoes in this.

Also, the narrow path out of transition was very slippery with mud -- had to be careful of slipping due to knee injury/recovery.

Pray harder for no rain :)

initial hill drove HR up coming off bike- made for a slow feeling start. pretty heavy rain throughout, really just wanted it to end by this point.

more intervals for faster run time.

not much really, just walking bike and equipment back to car.


rain, rain, rain at this point.


Enjoyed the race, great location for me. The rain made last half pretty unpleasant though.
