This was a good time for me! It did include a bit of running. The actual swim time from the "go" until I hit the beach was a bit over 10 minutes- either way, they are both good times for me!!

Drink less lake water, open water swim more, breath better

Having the spot right in front of the swim in and bike out REALLY helped this! 5/588!!

Not start putting on a running sneaker (oops) for the bike...cost me a 1st place!! (well, for a transition...)

I liked it! I think I slowed near the end.

I should have spun more on the hills instead of powering up them. May have helped with overall speed.

Felt pretty good! I didn't slip out of my shoes fast enough and ended up having to slow too soon.

Get my feet out faster!

Right knee hurt with every step...I think I need to readjust location of the cleat on my cycling shoe. My sciatic on my left hammy hurt with every left foot strike. So, pain was a factor with keeping me going fast. Since it hurt when I started slow, I decided to go real fast to get the pain over with. Right knee still hurts, but not as bad. Chiro tomorrow!! Kept my gate (gait?) low, short and REAL fast to help reduce pain from impact.

Nothing! I did a 5k PR (uh, the post 60 lb weight loss, not post college PR)! I cut 44 seconds off my previous low from April! Totally psyched about this!!

drank water, slow jogged a bit, stretched a lot, ate nuts and dried fruit. After about 30 minutes, got my 1/2 bagel and orange and drank more water, relaxed, vegged, and then went home.


nothing


Overall, I loved the race! I will definitely do it again!
