Swim
Comments: There was a line of women in front and then 4 feet with nobody so I got behind the fast girls 4-5 feet behind start buoys. The count down started and when they got to 2 I was already horizontal and moving forward. The first 200 or so was pretty skate - very little contact. Then I started catching all the pinks, then the oranges and one poor gal in a green cap before I finished. What would you do differently?: Find the exit faster. I had a hard time figuring out where to go. Transition 1
Comments: Had to run the length of transition, took a sec to get some of the grass and muck off my feet. What would you do differently?: Go faster Bike
Comments: This is the hardest I have gone on the bike, was pooping out a bit at the end. Had to stop pedaling a few times because the course was so crowded with too many riders and not enough room to pass. What would you do differently?: Go hard the last 2 miles, stop trying to 'save' myself for what is going to be a crappy run no matter what. Transition 2
Comments: They lumped my T2 with my run so this time is a guess. I racked my bike and had to go under the bar to get to my stuff, not good. What would you do differently?: Think Run
Comments: Started out with a bad calf cramp about .5 out of transition I had to stop and strech out so my pace was WAY off from the get go. There was ICE on the course in August which is AMAZING and I appreciate SO much! The sponges were also AWESOME! There was a bigger gap between 2 of the water stations than I would have liked. I wasn't really thirsty but my mouth/lips were dry. I hit a wall around 3.2, the mantra went away and the mental game was over. Lots of folks walking and I wasn't going much faster so I caved. Finished strong but I am very unhappy with this run. What would you do differently?: Run Post race
Warm down: Got my towel, water, medal and got in the ice bath which was lovely. Got my shirt which is great! Then I went back to the finish to wait for Karen. Saw the results (Merry showed me) and although I was happy to get 1st in the swim for 40+ Athena's I am kicking myself for that 1:03, I should have had it. Got a Coke and went to the Cy-Tri tent for a little visit. What limited your ability to perform faster: Not sure if going harder on the bike = cramp & wall or if my tri runs are always going to suck no matter how hard I go on the bike. Event comments: OUM puts on a great race and I am really hoping they get the timing thing together to do themselves next year. I would like to see races start on time. We all know when our wave starts - get there on time people and maybe the timing issues won't be such an issue. Last updated: 2011-05-06 12:00 AM

Up at 4:15 - stumbled to the kitchen poured myself a cup of ambition. Finished packing my bag ate most of my Odwalla bar on the way.
Fun to see so many familiar faces at this race. Swam about 150 with Karen.
