Comments:

I went back on fourth on wearing a wetsuit but decided I would feel a lot better if I did. I knew I wouldn't be elgible for awards (not like I have to worry about that) but am kind of bummed that my name was out of the rankings and in a special section. However I did need the wetsuit b/c even though the water was nice and warm I still freaked out with all the people. I took 5 or 6 breaks--stopped to visit the lifeguards.

What would you do differently?:

Same thing I always say--swim! I have only swam at Chatfield twice this year. Also just need to go to the pool more.

I was really surprised my run time was 3/16 because I felt SOOO slow but I guess the heat really hurt everyone.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

My lack of swim training and ability. Also it was so hot on the run!

Event comments:

Great race. I'd consider coming back for it again.

Performance:	Average
Course:	Out and back with no shade. It was fairly flat but the heat was brutal. Tons of people walked. I felt extremely slow but tried to just keep moving forward. I didn't wear my Garmin so had no idea of the time. I passed people and didn't get passed until one lady right at the end.
