Pre-race routine:

Got up at 5:45 and left by 6. Made it to interlochen state park, set up transition and walked around trying to figure out the course.
Event warmup:

Getting my wetsuit on....TWICE. I apparently have never learned to dress myself and I put on my wetsuit backwards. I was nice and sweaty before I realized it so it was an adventure to get it back on the right way.

Ended up I had to "save" someone from the heat in front of me. There was no swim help in sight and she was screaming for help. So out of everyone that was in my heat (over 30) i was the only one to help. By the time I got back to the starting line it was time to go. I was pissed to say the least. It really screwed up my entire race.

Comments:

Was really pissed about the swim so I talked to my husband for a couple minutes. I was ready to just stop and he told me to keep going and shake it off.
What would you do differently?:

Just go. Forget about what happened on the swim and think about the bike.

Ended up stopping for a girl that fell on the bike. I figured that I was already having a horrible race so why not. She was 13 years old I think and was really banged up. I felt good about stopping, but it contributed to my poor time.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing.

This T was better. Only had the run left.

Comments:

Decided to go to the bathroom on my way out of the campsite. I figured this just wasn't my day so I should be as comfortable as possible throughout the run. Ran the whole way.

Warm down:

Was really disappointed about this race. Walked around and discussed things with my husband.
