Swim
Comments: This was a good swim. I have swam a lot less this year and actually feel like I have learned to calm down and am actually swimming better. What would you do differently?: Nada Transition 1
Comments: Had a good tranition spot so this went pretty fast. Was nice to see a lot of the elite athletes who started 2 minutes before me running into transition after I was all ready there. Bike
Comments: I was pretty dissapointed in this ride. I went slightly faster last year but the roads also were not chip sealed. I hate that crap. 25 miles of chip seal. I put in a lot more effort on this ride than I wanted to. Legs were just not there. Should have backed off because it would get me later. What would you do differently?: Little slower Transition 2
Comments: Moved through ok. Should have put on hydration bely. Run
Comments: Absolute disaster. My legs never felt good on the bike and they completely left me on the run. Worse than that was my heart rate. I could not get it to go below 170 despite walking quite a bit. I would spike it to 180-183 while running 10 minute miles and then walk to try and get it down. Would not happen. Actually started to think I may have to drop. Was getting very sick feeling.Need to figyer out what went wrong today. When I finished I seriously considered hitting medical. Wanted to vomit and my leg muscles were cramping EVERYWHERE. Looked like a couple a chipmunks running around in my calves. What would you do differently?: ? Post race
Warm down: Kelly walked me to medical and I contemplated for awhile. Eventually just went down to the lake and cooled off for 15 minutes or so. What limited your ability to perform faster: Not being use to thew heat? Heat exhaustion? Event comments: I'll probably do this race again. Just had a bad day. COOL STUFF!! Aly did her first adult sprint and finished 1st in her age group. Brother did his first tri ever and finished the HIM course. I saw him when I was at mile 7.5 and he was at 4 and I was pretty worried about him. Didn't look good. Apparantly he found his legs shortly after because he finished good. Only 12 minutes behind me.

Got to the site after two mostly sleepless nights camping. Not complaining about the camping though. Haf my brother and his wife as well as Kelly the kids and I up since Friday.
Little stressful micromanaging my daughter and brother on their first tri's. Kevin did the half IM and Aly did the sprint. 1st in her age group btw!!!!
