My swim was just ok. Swimming is definately a limiter for me. I started on the left side of the group which was a mistake b/c everyone tries to get close to the buoys on the side. The start was crowded and it took me awhile to find my groove. Once I turned the buoy to come back in things had spread out and I felt much more comfortable and smoother.

I would start on the right hand side...I always do, not sure why I choose not to this time???

Out of the water there was a long uphill run to the transition area. The transition area was muddy and I got mud in the hills of my shoes and had a hard time clipping in. I had to physically remove the mud with my fingers to get them to clip.

Try to be more cautious in the transition area and look for grassy patches to run on!

Other than being unable to clip at the start of the bike overall I felt I had an ok bike. I passed a few girls in my age group which always feels good.

There is nothing different I would have done...I just need to keep working on my biking and I know I will improve!

Pretty good transition...

I need to get the things for my shoe laces that eliminate me having to tie them! My fingers never want to cooperate when I am in a rush!

Great run course! The entire run is in the woods on a trail. It was shaded almost the entire way. I loved this run. There were just enough hills to make it challenging!

I was happy with my run and I don't think there is much I would do differently. I was able to pass some of the others in my age group which helped me place 3rd since I was 17th coming out of the water. I am glad I've been running hills downtown. I just need to keep that up!

My swimming is always my limiter. I need to focus on swimming this summer (if my shoulder can handle it. I need to gain some 'swimming confidence'.


Great race! I had a blast and definately hope to do this one again!
