Was having trouble sighting so I started following someone, unfortunately they were way off course, had to swim an extra 50 meters to get back on course

More open water swimming, learn to sight

Not too bad, I was trying to catch my breath from that swim

I pushed very hard in the first half of the bike, because of my crappy swim I felt I had some catching up to do on the bike, I passed a lot of other women,I did pretty well on the small hills considering I don't do any hill training

Nothing

The run was a 4.6 mile train run, so instead of my Zoots I wore my trail shoes, so I had to take the time to put on socks.

Not too bad,wish I could have gone a little faster at the end. When I started the run the aid station worker informed me I was 3rd female overall, I was with a bunch of guys on the run the whole time, then about .4 from the finish line a girl come out of nowhere and sprints past me, I try to catch up with her but she is gone, she crossed the finish line 21 seconds before me.

Ate some food, hung out with my family, talked to other racers.


Swim, arg! Gets me every time!


This was a great race, and it was awesome having something for my kids to do during and after the race. I hope they put it on again next year.
