Swim
Comments: It had rained the night before so the top 3 inches were freezing cold. Underneath the surface, the water was not quite as cold. I had a very poor swim. I felt a lot of pressure on my lungs from the cold water. It was hard to breathe. Normally I can breathe every 3rd or 4th stroke but during this race, I was breathing every stroke. What would you do differently?: I think I might have worn a wetsuit, although, I don't own one and I won't want to take the time in my transition to take it off. Transition 1
Comments: I had a little trouble clipping into my pedals. I'm going without soxes and sunglasses; that saved me a few seconds. What would you do differently?: nothing really, t1 was a good transition. Bike
Comments: I gained a lot of time on the bike. What would you do differently?: nothing. Transition 2
Comments: t2 was good. What would you do differently?: I made the mistake of drinking some accelerade right before I started the run and so I had water in my stomach. Next time I need to finish the bottle before I dismount the bike, instead of drinking during t2. Run
Comments: I'm pleased with a sub-23 minute time. I haven't run that fast since my freshman year of college. I met James Reeves on the run course. It was fun to have a buddy for a few minutes. Post race
Warm down: I took some endurox, which really helps. I also stretched. What limited your ability to perform faster: Stupid swim. Event comments: I met my two goals for the race: 1. sub- 1:15 time 2. collect hardware This was my first race of the season and the best race ever! Last updated: 2005-06-08 12:00 AM

The night before, my husband and I spent the night at a hotel because the race was a few hours from our house. We rose early and got to the race with plenty of time for me to set up my transition area and get mentally ready.
I had one hammer gel pack and a bottle of water. I jumped in the water and did a very short warm-up because the water was freezing.
