Officials lost my early entry form so I wasn't properly seeded. They wanted me to start with the 7 minute swimmers. After getting angry and pleading (and a little persuasion from my DH) I was able to start earlier with the faster swimmers.

Send my husband's and my entry forms with two separate checks in two separate envelopes.

Pulled on a long sleeve cycling jersey and gloves for bike segment. It was 40 degrees outside. This was definately well worth any time lost in transition.

Started out fast, but began to fade toward the end.

I think I rode at the best level I could have at this time. Need to ride more over distance training to help with endurance.

Had a great transition to run.

Nothing

This was a good run for me. I didn't start too fast off the bike and I was able to increase my pace throughout the race.

Will definately do more speedwork in training. This was a PB for me so I'm not going to beat myself up about my time. The run is now my weakest event and will get more attention during training than I have given it in the past.

Very pleased with my results. I finished under the time I wanted to finish in and won my age group to boot.
