 Swim
Comments: Happy with the swim. Did a better job staying on course, stayed comfortable, pushed it a bit at the end. Passed quite a few people from earlier waves at the end. Best exit yet.....got the zipper donw and sleeves off while running (or trotting!) What would you do differently?: Not much. Practice so that it's faster?  Transition 1
Comments: Some jerk on the tri-club rack next to mine dumped my helmet/glasses/ garmin/gloves all over...I had to look for all of them, and the garmin got a new ding. Great. Otherwise, maybe my best yet. Wetsuit off quickly - LOTS of glide. What would you do differently?: Pray for karma to get the guy who trashed my stuff.  Bike
Comments: LOVED IT!!! 2d in my age group by less than a minute.....19th overall among 194 women!! The new bike handled it all beautifully, and it was a blast. Didn't attach my number well enough, so I had to crumple and hold for the second half. What would you do differently?: Nothing. Transition 2
Comments: Felt faster than this.... What would you do differently?: ??? John??  Run
Comments: Tried messing around with the multi-sport on the Garmin, never really got it right. Was therefore surprised when I started doing math and found my pace. Nice. Passed more than I was passed - always a good thing. What would you do differently?: Pick up 15 seconds somewhere. Drink and run at the same time, maybe?!? Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster: Missed the podium by 15 seconds. I can blame it on T1, or walking through the aid stations....or whatever. Next time!!!! Last updated: 2011-06-12 12:00 AM

Spent the week at 3k near Yosemite - lots of running, biking and hiking hills. Decided on Wednesday to enter the race. Drove home Saturday, unpacked, got race packet, drank a glass of wine, packed the tri bag and began stressing. At 1 am decided to make the swim work, hammer the (new!) bike, and let the run just happen. Slept for a solid 4 hours. Grape nuts and pepsi for breakfast (an improvement over the poptart - baby steps!) Threw the bag in the car, drove the 4 miles to meet Kim at a secret parking spot. Yea!! Rode our bikes down, checked Kim in, racked everything and scouted the place.
See above, plus a porta-stop.
