 Swim
Comments: Had to stop like a dozen times to clear my fogged goggles...my other goggles broke the day before at a swim clinic and my spare SUCKED!!! As I was getting on my bike, a guy said, "7th woman, 7 min behind..go get em!"...not so sure about the timing chips/system at this race, as the results have me as the 29th woman out of the water! Ha...my friend was on shore and said I had to be in top 10 women. I am usually much better in the swim. Whatever. What would you do differently?: GOGGLES!  Transition 1
Comments: get in, get out. 1st in AG  Bike
Comments: Coach said "take it easy the first half of the bike...it's going to be a long day." I had a good bike but never felt I PUSHED it...got a little tired about mile 56...and still had 4 miles to go! UGH. Hate that. Transition 2
Comments: No time for Transition....who knows!!  Run
Comments: Oh.my. Death march. I ran, I walked, I stopped and drank way to much cold ice water...and dumped it on my head...and in my suit...people were dropping like flies. I knew I was drinking too much, but I was on fire, not in a good way! By mile 2, I was dizzy and not sure I would finish...started damage control....sipping my infinit concentrate and coke and ice water. I curse this run!! Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster: I was in town for a training camp...Thursday ran 16 miles, friday biked 3 hilly hours and did a swim clinic...saturday stayed in bed fighting the cold that arrived via sore throat on thursday evening. Woke up sunday feeling like I could race, but knowing it might not be so great!! Glad I finished and did relatively well....relatively!! Event comments: This was harder than Ironman!! WOW. Brutal. I ended up 10/66 female, 42/239 overall..and it would appear only 170/239 people finished the race...which means there were 69 DNFs!!! That's like almost 1/3 :o Last updated: 2010-05-03 12:00 AM

Member 40 | Subject: RE: Florida Challenge Triathlon This is always an extremely difficult race, much more difficult than many people plan for. Actually your time was fairly strong for this course. Between the hills and the heat, you should be proud of yourself. |
