 Swim
Comments: I've been working on my dolphin diving and sucking it up trying to swim hard the first 200 m. It worked! got off the front but couldn't get a good draft from anyone. Then ran into waves in front of us shortly into the swim. lots of sighting and weaving to avoid hitting people but the speed suit was key. Shut down my kick since I was tightening in my calf half way through. What would you do differently?: nothing.  Transition 1
Comments: frustrating getting out. line of people and narrow walkway. had to walk it. What would you do differently?: nothing. went well.  Bike
Transition 2
Comments: went really well. found bike easily and was on my way. no problems.  Run
Comments: boy, struggle all the way. started off at 7:15's and it felt great. no hip pain. but the heat got me by mile 3 and I started dialing it back. lots of salt sticks and gatorade/water every aide station. I knew my stomach wouldn't tolerate a gel so I hoped that what I took on the bike plus gatorade on the run would suffice. Had to walk the aide stations on the back half. was trying to stay in the moment and not get too excited I was winning! not the split I was looking for but not bad for how hard I rode and how ridiculously hot it was. I'll take it. What would you do differently?: I think that was the best I could do on this day. Post race
Warm down: jumped in the lake and tended to my wounds. What limited your ability to perform faster: HEAT Event comments: Every time I do disney I swear I won't do it again because of the run. but this was a huge breakthrough race for me and may become a favorite just because of that :) Last updated: 2010-02-13 12:00 AM

With that time you would have placed 12th in the woman's Pro division! You are already running with the big boys now you just need to push your way up the leader board. Again, super impressive! I don't know where you started in your tri career but where ever it was you have ARRIVED! |

I don't know where you started in your tri career but where ever it was you have ARRIVED! I know! I'm super excited about that. I do feel like I've arrived. I wrote a whole blog on it, check it out: (libbybergman.blogspot.com). thanks so much, its really overwhelming that is finally happened after years of hard work  we will see what the future brings. I just got a more serious coach and I'm going to take his lead on things and we'll see what happens. I would like to know I was consistently up there before making that step and I'm a little worried that racing for money will take the joy out of it and I will self destruct. Right now I'm just amazed with the steps I'm taking and enjoying the whole experience. We will see how I round out the rest of the year. I actually did a local sprint the day before disney and won overall too! It was a huge weekend for me thanks for the encouragement, you guys rock! |

not normal at all. walked from the wildnerness lodge. could barely get solid food down and got sick to my stomach just in time before the race. was sore from racing the sprint yesterday.
hope and pray it doesn't hurt! no warm up for me.
