 Swim
Comments: Water was cold but didn't seem to be much of an issue once we got going. Time was good, but it didn't feel good. What would you do differently?: If I could get into my stroke or rhythm I know I could easily finish in the top 5 for the swim. I felt myself go anaerobic from the start and it was hard to recover from that.  Transition 1
Comments: Didn't clip shoes in ahead of time so running with bike was a little harder but I didn't feel I practiced getting into shoes while they were already clipped in enough. Over all I felt good though... What would you do differently?: Practice getting into shoes while they are clipped in already.  Bike
Comments: I did better than I expected on the bike. The course was SUPER EASY (aside from the first and last mile or so that was filed with pot holes). For the first loop I only saw a few other people because I was in the first wave and I finished the swim in the front of the pack. I heard later on it got really crowded. What would you do differently?: Drink more. When I got back to transition, I still had half of my gatorade left. Not good. Transition 2
Comments: Forgot to get feet out of shoes before getting off bike.  What would you do differently?: Instead of unclipping shoes just take feet out at the end and pedal on top of shoes.  Run
Comments: For the first half I was running a 7 minute pace, then for the second half I tried to stay at a 6:30 pace.  Post race
Warm down: Light stretching. Recover drink + Banana What limited your ability to perform faster: I think there is room for improvement on the bike and run as well as some minor adjustments in transitions. Event comments: Overall a VERY good experience. I will be doing this race next year! Thanks to my loyal Fans!!!   Last updated: 2009-06-29 12:00 AM

Woke up at 4am, hopped in the shower, ate my cereal w/ strawberries (Molly cut them up for the the night before :) )and hit the road. It was pitch black driving there!!!
The parking lot was almost two miles from transition so it took us forever to get there!!! Didn't have much time to warm up. And the water was FREEZING so I didn't bother swimming. Basically just ran around for a few minutes.
