 Swim
Comments: Not happy at all with my swim. I'm not a fan of this TT start. I was in front of a large group of men in the 35-44 AG. I was smacked around a ton, my goggles wouldn't stay on my face and I couldn't get a rhythm. I eventually breathed every two strokes and just got through it.  Transition 1
Comments: Had wetsuit strippers which was fun and made life easy. Transition was long (distance wise) and I debated about bringing my sunglasses so that took a chunk of time. Otherwise, I had set everything out correctly this time. What would you do differently?: I would have brought my yellow lenses, but forgot them at home. Also, I need to stop second guessing my choices and just go.  Bike
Comments: This was my fastest bike split ever!!! I'm really proud of riding my fastest split and doing it in the rain. I was a bit worried after I came up on a crash, but kept on being smart about tapping my breaks and being attentive to the road conditions. What would you do differently?: Be better at a long sustained hill- that will come with practice though :) Transition 2
Comments: I could get better, but this is an easy transition with my Zoots now. What would you do differently?: I would have my food out. I decided to grab some clif bloks at the last second which added to my time, but in the end, helped my run immensely.  Run
Comments: Super happy with this run. Had to pull back once or twice because of a small developing cramp, but was able to head it off. Pace felt really good. I probably had it in me to go faster, but some asthma kept me from really pushing. Need to get to a doc. I did catch up with a teammate who started about 44 places in front of me, but she had a little more left and beat me to the line. What would you do differently?: Nothing. Post race
Warm down: Massage, food, stretching. What limited your ability to perform faster: Asthma and crappy swim. Event comments: Great race. I might do Lord of the Flies next year- a TT, International, and then the sprint on Sunday. Last updated: 2010-07-12 12:00 AM

Got up at 5- had a bagel with PB. Got to the race later than I wanted because we were with a group. I felt rushed and forgot my license, but they gave me my packet thankfully! Set up transition and while I was waited to pee, it started pouring. Luckily, I had already covered my gear with a trash bag. Got my wetsuit on while wet (super fun) and headed to the TT start.
No warm-up. Not enough time and I wasn't happy about it.
