 Swim
Comments: I always finish strong in the swim part. I just fell apart here. Thinking back, it was my most competetive swim to date. Lots of thrashing, kicking, etc. I just got slammed. I wasn't really used to it, and every time I got hit I'd stop and recoup. I need to work on stopping that. Plus that wore me out quickly. I tried to relax. Then the folks in the wave behind me passing didn't do anything to help me either. What would you do differently?: More OW swims in rough water. Need to go on group OW swims- I'm too used to the pool and calmer OW swims. Work on balance drills.  Transition 1
Comments: Struggled with wetsuit, cursed by being a left hander. Slippery bike start. What would you do differently?: Practice unzipping wetsuit, probably won't get to do that much living in Florida :)  Bike
Comments: Good ride even with the wind. I did good- hydrated, got the gels down. It was hard to pass sometimes and got crowded in parts. Every time the marshal drove by, I was alone. whew! What would you do differently?: Go faster. duh. Transition 2
Comments: While on the bike, my triceps started bothering me. Couldn't see any blood, but it was stinging. Figured it was either a jellyfish or wetsuit burn. I started to leave T2 but decided to go through my bag, slather some vaseline on it. Thanking myself for throwing that in my T bag as an afterthought. What would you do differently?: Put the tube of vaseline in my T area. Learn to dismount better, Im so awkward at that in bike shoes.  Run
Comments: Oh, I was SO HAPPY I didn't cramp. No legs, no side stitches. Wow. Saw G8RSAX (Wendy) and hung with her for a while. Jeez, the purple people are fast. Walked water stations. About mile 3, I got my groove and picked up the pace. A lot. I was happy I was having a great run, considering I've never done a formal 10K run previously. Saw hubby near the end and sprinted down the chute. Had the chute all to myself, so I should have a great finisher's pic Post race
Warm down: walk around with cold wet towel. ohhh... Gatorade and water. Food!! Fruit, pizza, and eventually beer and Champagne. What limited your ability to perform faster: my run sucks. I tend to walk too much. Must.... stop....walking..... Event comments: This was my first OLY. Basically pacing myself. Not bad, beat my personal goal of 3.5 hours by three minutes.

Saturday night: BT Pasta dinner. Great food, great company. Slept not so well, kept waking up. Finally up for good at about 5:15am.
Walked over to race area from hotel was a warmup in itself :) Then walk through the HUGE transistion area. Walk back out. Walk the mile or so to the swim start. See, lots of walking was my warm up.
