 Swim
Comments: I started on the outside--this allowed me not to bet bumped too much but I think I was way wide the whole swim What would you do differently?: swim a tighter course  Transition 1
Comments: I had trouble with my top (I should know better) it rolled up trying to put it on while I was wet. What would you do differently?: Buy a tri suit or wear top for the swim run all of the transition  Bike
Comments: I did not feel like I was moving but my time shows I was moving OK....I guess I did not push too hard and maybe the heat was in my head too. Course is a great one and one which can be pushed in the right conditions. I had one really tight turn as we bunched up coming into the park. It was nice to be in a later wave as I was chasing the waves in front of me the whole ride :) What would you do differently?: Stay in the bike mentally- I think my mind drifted a few times Transition 2
Comments: long run/walk to my transition I jumped off and ran some then I slowed to a walk to collect myself What would you do differently?: run all of the transition  Run
Comments: The run was tough for me...I just could not keep it going..... It was a run/walk the whole way! There was a sprinkler/fire hose at the turna4round which by the time I got there had flooded the course--this soaked my shoes and caused a blister on the way back on my foot. Ice pack was very useful as it was H-O-T. I stuck this down the back of my shirt. I also wore my hat and think this helped keep the sun off my head. What would you do differently?: believe in myself and my training--I think I need to learn how to push through the pain/heat Post race
Warm down: Finished and walked around for a bit. Went back to my car and got some nutrition and drink. Cleaned up transition and left! What limited your ability to perform faster: Heat and not have belief in my training Last updated: 2011-03-14 12:00 AM

Woke up early because I could not sleep and had breakfast (bagel w/ butter) Packed up the car and headed to the race site
I had a cereal bar on my way to the site and a powerbar after transition setup. I also continued drinking fluids
I did a short ride/bike check
got my gear ready for transition set up and found out I forgot my straw for my aero bottle (ugh)
Sept up transition drank (I knew it was going to be a hot one), and mapped out my paths in and out.
