 Swim
Comments: Felt very good on the swim. This was my first open water swim, and my first race with a full wetsuit. My shoulders felt the fatigue of the full wetsuit. Overall, I was proud of this swim! This swim was a confidence booster for me. I am ready for more open water races! What would you do differently?: Simply train more to get better  Transition 1
Comments: I had a hard time getting my wetsuit off of my ankles, especially with the timing chip on. Once the wetsuit was off, everything else went pretty good. This was my first time getting on the bike with my shoes already clipped into the pedals. I did ok I guess. What would you do differently?: Again....practice more and train harder.  Bike
Comments: This pace was a personal best for me. I felt like I could have pushed a little harder, but I was trying to save my legs for the run. What would you do differently?: Train more and harder on the bike. Transition 2
Comments: I went to the wrong rack and realized my stuff wasn't there. I was actually 5 racks away from where I was supposed to be. I realized the problem and got to the correct rack right away. What would you do differently?: Keep better track of my rack number.  Run
Comments: Wasn't anything to write home about. I loved the course. My frustration with the run is all on me and not the course. What would you do differently?: Train more, like the other categories. Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster: Nothing really....I felt this was good race for me, but I know I can do much better with more training and a better diet. Event comments: I absolutely loved this race. I have heard a lot of bad reviews, but I didn't see anything that would keep me from coming back. This was my first UltraFit race. HFP seems to be a little more motivating and the atmosphere is a little more friendly, but I still think this race was awesome. Last updated: 2009-06-14 12:00 AM

Expert 1123 Columbus | Subject: RE: Wendy's International Triathlon Great Race! High Quality first Open Water Swim and stellar bike ride. Sounds like the only thing that didn't go as well as you hoped was the transitions. Nice meeting you hope to see you at another race soon. Thanks for the encouragement in the run. |

Went to bed at 10:30PM.....woke up at 12am starving to death. Ate 2 bagels with peanut butter, some string cheese, and a powerade, then went back to bed. Woke up at 4:45Am and had another bagel and peanut butter.
Not too much warming up. I did get a chance to do some swimming before the race though.
