Felt very relaxed, could have swam faster had it not been for people in front of me. Next year I will go with the under 10 minute swimmers so I'll have my own half of a lane.

Felt strong coming out of the water, ran to my bike, drank a little more accelerade, put on my gear and headed out.

It was a fun ride, I enjoyed it. My legs started to feel fatigued but then they came back on the 2nd half. Took gel 5 miles in and 10 miles in. Great weather! Passed a bunch of people! Only got passed once!

Didn't feel strong enough to run with my bike when I got off immediately. So I walked it into the transition area.

Need to do more bricks!

I had a cramp pretty much through the whole run but it really wasn't too bad. I stopped at the turn around point and drank two cups of water. That seemed to help. Everyone was encouraging each other, it was really nice to hear that (and fun to cheer on everyone else). Passed a few people, only got passed twice!

Again, more brick workouts, and overall I need to keep working on my running skills.

Sat and talked with friends, cheered on everyone else as they finished.


Aerobic capacity, I didn't have my HR monitor on, but I'm pretty sure I was in a very high zone during the run, I was getting almost out of breath. One of the things that should also help is getting rid of my excess weight, my goal is to continue at my current pace of 1 lb loss every other week.


Loved this race! Great volunteers, well organized, lots of people cheering me on! Very fun, will definitely do it next year.
