The water was wayyyyyyyyy more choppy than last weekends race(which I watched and supported friends). I was bummed no wetsuits where allowed because I wanted to try it out in a race. I started right in-front so I could go all out so not to get kicked. Swimming to the first buoy I muscled my way through fighting the choppy waves and after that was smooth sailing. I caught up to alot of blue caps at the second turn buoy heading to the dock. I felt ok but I could have given alot more and did not want to use my leg strength up for the bike. Longgggg run to T1 so my swim was faster .

kicked harder.

I got in to T1 and I tried to put on my socks(forgot the baby power in socks) Took me forever and then I got stuck in a line trying to exit T1 because two people could not clip in there shoes and go. The exit was very narrow and little room to go around.

Learning to bike with out socks and just jumping onto bike leaving shoes on pedals. this alone will make have a better race by 2 min

My run is my worst part so I am always scared to push hard on the bike and then have nothing left for the run. I passed alot of people both laps but pushed enough to give it a decent effort . I was in aero position all the way both laps.

I think I am going to start doing brick runs.

nothing special just rack and go

run my bike to my bike rack and not walk

My running sucks but its been going down by 2 min every triathlon I am doing. I guess the 5k races are helping me out. I could have gone faster but drank wayyyyy to much on the bike.I had a belly full of GA and I was feeling sick the whole way and a major side stitch .

Do not drink so much on the Bike .

cooled off in the lake and packed up my my Transition area. Got water and mountain dew drink and some cookies and sat down in the trees by the announcer to watch the awards handing out.


Me. I need to give it my all and not worry about saving myself from injury.


Had alottttttt of fun
