 Swim
Comments: I really felt strong going out on the swim. I sighted really well and never got off course. There was a big patch of plant life on the north side of the lake and there were times it would get caught on my goggles..yuck! I heard someone got out of the lake with a bunch hanging off of them. Swam right to the end and ran out!! RPE 6-7 What would you do differently?: Just keep training more  Transition 1
Comments: I forgot to reset my computer and did it as i was running out T1. I got my shoes on fast and grabbed my helmet and ran to the mount line. I had a little trouble clipping in and should work on the flying mount but once I got going I was up to speed fairly quick! What would you do differently?: Prctice mounting faster and clipping in faster..  Bike
Comments: Started my ride at about an RPe of 8-9 but after catching my breath and settling in to a decent speed, I was able to bike at a comforatable RPe of 6-7. I really tried to just concentrate on my cadence rather than speed, and kept it above 90 the whole time. What would you do differently?: Jsut keep training to get in better shape cardiovascularly Transition 2
What would you do differently?: about 300 yds from T2I took my feet out of the shoes and rode ontop. quickly dismounted and ran into Transition. Racked my bike and threw my shoes on...going sockless! I threw my visor on and grabbed my garmin and race blet adn started runniing out of T2. I started my garmin (which was already on) while running ou of T2 and then clipped on my race belt. i put the garmin on my wrist while running. I thought my T2 was awesome!!!  Run
Comments: I started out way too fast..my friends were cheering me on and I ha so much adreniline in me that I didn't notice that I was running 8:44 mm RPE 10! Yikes! I slowed down ,but I had already winded myself. i had to walk for a moment to catch my breath. i started runnig again at a better pace for me and was at about an RPE of 7-8...Wasn't paying attention and tripped over a root coming up through the ground and flew through the air onto the grass and pretty much slid into home. Got up and Dusted the dirt off but my toe got stubbed. Walkwed a moment adn started running again. I kept a decent pace for the rest of the run and only walked at one water station. Once i was over 2 miles, I picked my pace up a tad to sprint ot the finish. What would you do differently?: not go out so hard and pace myself better Post race
Warm down: Walked around a bit, grabbed some water and gathered at the Boca raton triathletes tent. Ha a bi of fruit and more water. What limited your ability to perform faster: Jsut follow my training plan and keep it up! Event comments: I like this race since it is close to home and its a very fast race!

Regular 79 Port St. Lucie | Subject: RE: Ameriprise Financial South Florida Triathlon I think it was me who came out of the water covered in seaweed! When I finally peeled out of my trisuit, it was all down inside my suit! I wondered why I was so itchy on the run! Fun race anyway. See you at the Coca Cola Sprint. |

Master 2158 | Subject: RE: Ameriprise Financial South Florida Triathlon I didn't get out covered in it, but I pulled off a huge cape of stuff just as I was getting out of the water. It was a little distracting! |

Master 1795 Boynton Beach, FL | Subject: RE: Ameriprise Financial South Florida Triathlon Great job by you! Fun race once again and impressive group of Boca Triathletes out there. I witnessed your graceful slide into the grass by some coincidence and I thought you percevered very well! In fact, you picked it up pretty quickly after that because I did not see you until later around mile two. Your transition times rock and overall nice race. yes, those weeds in the race were interesting obstacles. |

Dinner last night was whole wheat pasta with grilled chicken and hommade marinara. Went to sleep at 10 already packed and ready to go first thing. I woke up a couple of times thinknig it was time to eat my breakfast and go back to sleep for an hour, but I woke up at 3...not 4..and then fell asleep til 5! So, I ate my clif bar right when I woke up.
Drove to the race site at 5:30 and got my transiton set up..I was center of the bike and run!
Did a 5 min bike and then came back to do a 5 min rn. Did and bathroom run and then met up with friends from Boca Raton Triathletes. I walked to the swim start and did a quick out and back and then got in line for the start
