 Swim
Comments: AWESOME!! Nothing like swimming down hill! Memphis swim time was 34:08, Chattanooga swim time 23:23 What would you do differently?: start breathing on a 2 count sooner!  Transition 1
Comments: Ok, but still could be faster!!  Bike
Comments: Gosh, people were passing me the whole time. I've got to get faster on the bike. I pushed, I really did, but some folks are just hosses on the bike, or at least that is what I think. I liked seeing people along the way and with having to do the loop 2x, you had the opportunity to do that. Transition 2
Comments: I PUT MY SOCKS ON!!!  Run
Comments: people complained about the steps. I found the course interesting and a nice diversion. What would you do differently?: next year i will run 'stadiums' as part of my training for this race. Even running down them was tough at the end because I was tired and not sure I was in complete control of my legs. Make sense? Post race
Warm down: Ate watermelon and drank water. Still haven't acquired the taste for beer immediately after a race. Mary, my swim coach dogged me about beating her on the swim. She was about 45 seconds behind me. What limited your ability to perform faster: Not enough run time. Event comments: I don't have a lot of other races to compare this one to, but I will be back. It beat Memphis in May by a mile!! It was also the first year of this event being the USAT SE Intermediate Distance Tri Regional Championships. It sold out this year, so I will register early for next year! The Chattanooga downtown area has seen tremendous revitalization and is top notch. Great restaurants, shopping, and cultural event. Lots of fun all around. Last updated: 2005-06-30 12:00 AM

Expert 1180 Iowa | Subject: RE: Chattanooga Waterfront Excellent work Kristi! Solid race all the way around, but just as important it sounds like you really enjoyed yourself too. When you're having fun, nothing seems to hurt! I'd love to swim with a current someday - kind of like a friendley tail wind on the bike. Again, great job! Edited by triman50 2005-07-18 8:21 AM |

Regular 110 King George, VA | Subject: RE: Chattanooga Waterfront Hey Kristi, great race - what a swim (and exit)!! Just a suggestion: on my only OWS, I breathed every 2 for a number of strokes then after sighting, switched to breathing on the other side - not quite bilateral, but gives both sides a break. After reading your MIM report, I've been practicing riding w/o socks - got to do something to cut the T1 time down! Well it really sounds like you had a wonderful time at this race! That's what it's all about - Congratulations!!! jlk |

SUBRO, Erin and I cheerfully awoke at 5:00 a.m.. Had a 1/2 cup of coffee, and a Cliff bar. Loaded bikes onto the elevator and rode 1 mile to the race site. Set up transition area, got chip and body marked. There were 3 shifts of buses taking us to the swim start. My bus loaded at 6:55 to depart at 7:05. Chatted with the B'ham folks and loaded up. Apparently the first bus loaded at 6:20, thank goodness I wasn't on that bus! We all had to get to the swim start before the first swimmer started. I took a gel on the bus and really should have waited to take it until later, but all was well.
Rode bike 1 mile. :)
