Swim
Comments: This was my third OWS and second one that was in a race. Two weeks ago (my 1st OWS) I discovered 3 important things 1) I am not afraid of OWS, 2)I don't mind getting banged around and 3) I pull to the left. I practiced on Monday with a friend and she corrected my swimming. I started in the middle of the pack and got off to a good start. I sighted every 5 or 6 strokes and was swimming suprisingly straight. There was a log jam at the buoy so I had to swim hard to get out and that took a little out of me. The trip back was uneventfull though I was a bit tired. What would you do differently?: I need to get into my swim stroke a little more consistently. This swim was dramtically better than last time but I have to learn to relax more. Transition 1
Comments: T-1 times are included in the swim time. T-1 went well as I was able to get my wetsuit off quickly but I did have problems getting my bike shoes on. What would you do differently?: Nothinh Bike
Comments: I was a little dissappointed in my bike as I thought I would be faster. I am a runner first anf foremast and lack raod biking skills and power. I saving a little too much for the run. I think I could have pushed harder on the bike and still had the same run. What would you do differently?: Push the pace a bit more Transition 2
Comments: Nothing to comment on, included in run time Run
Comments: Running is my sport so I was excited to get off the bike and see how my legs felt. They felt really good and I pushed the pace early. I just tried to keep a nice even pace through the whole run. I passed a lot of people and felt strong. One guy passed me right at the end but I didn't care, I could finally say that I was a triathlete What would you do differently?: Nothing, run felt great. Good pacing, I was very happy with my split. Post race
Warm down: Just some water and strecthing What limited your ability to perform faster: I'll never be a fast swimmer because I probably won't put in the time. So the real limiting factor is the bike, which I am going to work really hard on. I have a HIM in 7 weeks and need to get much better riding. Event comments: This is a great 1st tri for anyone. It is low key and very friendly. It is difficult for me to get to the race because of work but whenever I can make it, I will. Last updated: 2005-07-05 12:00 AM

I worked all day so not much of a routine. I tried to drink a lot and brought some food that I could eat on the way as ai was coming striaght from work. This would be my second attempt at completing my first tri. I did this race two weeks ago and my pedal fell off during the ride. I edalled the last few miles in with one leg and then lightening shut everything down
Not much, I did a little jogging, stretching, swimming and then some more stretching.
