 Swim
Comments: I almost bailed but, I didn't. I stopped 2 times and rested on a kayak and chatted with the very nice fellow that followed me and made sure I made it out of the water. Wish I knew his name. I would send him a thank you card. What would you do differently?: Get over my fear of OWS.  Transition 1
Comments: I took my husbands advice and didn't tidy up my transition area. Much better than my first race. My feet were covered with sand so I just brushed them off and went sockless on the bike, that worked just fine for me. What would you do differently?: Just do it faster.  Bike
Comments: I loved this part of the race. It was my best ride to date. I really tried to make up for that hellish nightmare of a swim. I felt I did very well. What would you do differently?: Drink more and remember to have a gu. Transition 2
 Run
Comments: Should have drank more on the bike and had a gu. I was starting to feel a little crappy at mile 2. I thought I missed the water at mile 1 but, I don't think there was any there? Post race
Warm down: Walked a little then changed clothes and found the beer truck:) Talked with Trish and waited for Steve to come in from the OLY distance. What limited your ability to perform faster: All the energy I wasted on the swim. I was exhausted after the swim. Event comments: I will get over my fear of OWS and be back next year to do the OLY with TrisM:) This was a very well run event. Lots of beer and plenty of food post race.

| New user 14 | Subject: RE: Sylvania So you thought there was water at 1 mile as well. I remember not taking any right after T2 thinking I would get some at the 1 mile mark, then nothing until mile 2. That kind of threw me for a loop as well. |

Veteran 272 Canton, MI | Subject: RE: Sylvania Nice ride despite the OW panic! And your run pace was still good too...once you get comfy in the water, you'll be unstoppable!  Great job, Karen! |

Woke up at 3:30. Had breakfast and showered. Arrived in Sylvania at 5:40. Picked up packet and set up transition. I felt real good about this race. I just knew I was going to do better in the swim than at Hawk Island.(Boy was I wrong)
Got in the water and just got wet. Talked to a few people and it was time to start.
