Swim
Comments: Hadn't swam enough at all for this. And it showed. I had to stop at the wall two times to catch my breath. I'm sure it was from being ill earlier, so I didn't have high expectations. I did feel like I finished strong. I didn't die at the end. :) What would you do differently?: Stay healthy so I could be better prepared. Transition 1
Comments: Was looking for my dad and kids when I came into transition so I think that messed with my concentration. Took entirely too much time. I really need to work on this A LOT What would you do differently?: Practice, practice, practice Bike
Comments: Brought my road bike instead of my TT bike for this race and wish I would've brought the tri bike. The course was completely flat and I think I would have added some additional speed on this course. Next year..tri bike! What would you do differently?: Try to find a flat place to actually work on spinning that long. It's different to not have ANY hills to go down at all. Transition 2
Comments: Transition is really looooooong at this tri. What would you do differently?: Practice more Run
Comments: I got a rock in my shoe in transition that about 1.5m I had to take my shoe off and get it out of my sock. It took at least 4-5 minutes of my time because then I couldn't get the stupid sock and shoe back on! I should have done it sooner because it affected my running before that. Without that problem it was a great course to run. What would you do differently?: Be more careful in transition while putting on my running shoes Post race
Warm down: Stretched and drank some chocolate milk. Didn't stretch enough and I paid the price later. What limited your ability to perform faster: Being sick beforehand and not having had enough training. I did this for the "fun" of it this year and so I had low expectations. I could have pushed a little more. And I am really bummed about the rock in my shoe. It hurt the entire time and affected my running. Last updated: 2011-03-02 12:00 AM

Woke up around 4:45 am and had a banana and a bagel along with drinking some coffee. Stomach was just a tad upset but that is usually what happens. I was probably more nervous because I basically hadn't trained enough at all for this. Wasn't sure what to expect
