Swim
Comments: Swim was a 500 at the YMCA pool. It went well. I started off too quick just like our swim coach told us not too. Each lap time was slower as I went except for the last one. Overall I was happy with the swim. What would you do differently?: Don't start off too quick. Long strokes even when I get tired. Transition 1
Comments: N/A Bike
Comments: Headwind going out, tail coming back. I felt like I was FLYING! I was passing everyone. I was going back and forth with a couple of guys but eventually passed them. This was the first race that I used aerobars and I stayed in them. To me aerobars make ALL the difference. I also LOVED the water bottle between the aerobars, that was convenient. I didn't fill up the aerobar water bottle thinking I wouldn't need it all. I ran out of water about a mile before the end of the bike portion. What would you do differently?: Fill up the aerobar water bottle. Transition 2
Comments: I drank a small bottle that had a GU mixed with water. What would you do differently?: I would have drank that while running, not in transition. Run
Comments: I came off the bike EXHAUSTED!! I felt like I was hyperventilating. I couldn't get my heart rate down. I was running ~6 minute miles at the beginning but I felt like I was running at 10:00 pace because I just came off the bike What would you do differently?: Even though it was only two miles I should have worn a fuel belt and carried one water bottle on it. I think I could have done better if I did. Post race
Warm down: Stretched a bit, socialized, ate bananas,oranges and drank lots of water. Event comments: This was a two day race with the swim taking place the first day and the bike and run the next day. This was my first triathlon and I had lots of fun!! I even won a t-shirt at the raffle! Wahoooo!!! :-) Final Results: http://www.lcsc.edu/crosscountry/2010%20Snake%20River%20Triathlon%2... Last updated: 2010-03-15 12:00 AM

Toasted bagel with cream cheese, yum!
There wasn't allowed much warm up for the swim. I did about a 100 easy before.
