I started off at the front of the wave. There was a lot of jostling and one of the guys kept on tapping my feet till the first turnaround. After that it smoothed out a little and I caught some of the slower women that had started in the prior waves. I can't explain why my time was so slow since I was expecting to be under 10 minutes. The only explanation I could think of was that I probably didn't take the most direct line between buoys.

Sight more often and draft better.

Another fast transition. It's good to gain free time in transition. Still could take off 20 more seconds.

I rode this course hard. Balls to the walls, my run sucks anyways so I was determined to post a good bike split. I was proud of this split and felt I could have given it some more. Fastest split ever !!

Attack the hills!!

Slightly slow transition. I had some trouble getting my shoes on and also ran past my rack.

My worst run ever. I felt so good coming of the bike and ran the first mile in 8 minutes. Then the sun came out and the wheels fell of my run. My body started to overheat and my only motivation was to rush to the finish line to get out of the heat. I stopped twice to walk a little bit, I knew the run was going to be bad but I had no idea it was going to be this bad. Five guys from my AG passed me. I tried to hang with them but they were way too fast for my legs. I was also slightly complacent since I had already placed in my AG at the last triathlon and didn't have the hunger for this race.

Lost 10 lbs, losing the weight will definitely help in run endeavors.

Found some shade, tried to get some fluids in.


I was off by 2 minutes on the swim and 7 minutes on the run. I will just continue with my run training to get myself into better shape.
