Comments: Good sighting but almost went too far around the second bouy. Not sure why my arm felt so tired; the guy where I rented it said that it was an older suit and the newer ones are made with more flexibility for movement. What would you do differently?: Really, it has to do with training, more consistent more focused...more everything. ![]() Transition 1
Comments: Looks like a long T time but the distance from the lake to the transition area and from the tranisition area to the bike out are a pretty good distance. Even running in sand with the bike on the way out! What would you do differently?: Think transition went pretty well. I was out of my suit faily quickly and even put socks on for the bike ride which I usually forgo to save minutes. ![]() Bike
Comments: I will work on this hill more often now that I know I can do it. What would you do differently?: Bike hills more often...they seemed so out of reach before but now that I know I can complete hills I need to head out of town and add hills to my training. ![]() Transition 2
Comments: This went fairly smoothly. Should remember to take my helmet off while running with the bike to the rack. Otherwise it was good. What would you do differently?: Take my helmet off while running to the bike rack. ![]() Run
Comments: Hills felt like mountains and I walked up the hills. I let gravity do its thing on the way back. Wished I didn't feel the need to walk. What would you do differently?: Again...it comes down to training. My watch had a different time, and of course I would not mention this if it weren't shorter, my watch was 19:42 with my first mile at 10:10 and my second at 9:32. ![]() Post race
Warm down: A little stretching What limited your ability to perform faster: Training...what can I say, isn't it always training? This was a challenging race for me because of the hill but I have over come that and can now train harder and stronger because I know I can. The best part was seeing my grandson there when I came off the bike. His cute little two year old face saying go Grandma! Event comments: The race was fun but that's always my main goal...have fun!

Panic! Not really but I did forget to get my Recovery Rockstar and G2. The kids brought those when they came. We were camping and so my pre-race was a little left of center and disorganized.
Run in place; stretch; Got in the water to acclimate to the lake temps.
