Pre-race routine:

Up at 4:30am. Scott was working this race so we had to be to the race site by 5:30am. I slept in the back of Jeep Liberty once we got there and got a few more hours sleep!

Event warmup:

Little jog around the transition area!

Improved my swim from 2008 by almost 3 minutes...I was soooo pleased with that!

Transition 1

01m 54s

Comments:

Slow transition for me. I had a hard time getting my wetsuit off and I just felt like all thumbs!

What would you do differently?:

Use more body glide!

Comments:

My legs felt really heavy at first. I was thinking it may have been my 35 mile ride the day before but then I realized it was the immediate hill we had to climb coming out of transition. My felt better as my ride continued! Again...my time was faster than my 2008 time so I can't complain.

Transition 2

01m 10s

Comments:

Not sure why it took me so long in transition? Maybe b/c I had to tie my shoes. I need to get some yankz!

What would you do differently?:

Get some yankz!

Not my fastest 5km but after looking over the results the fastest girl ran only in the mid 20's. Again...overall faster than 2008!
