 Swim
What would you do differently?: Nothing, it felt great....the 1/4 mile run to T1 was uncomfortable in the deep sand by the volleyball courts....but otherwise, respectable swim.  Transition 1
Comments: Was clipped in and on my bike before I knew what had happened...felt great.  Bike
Comments: Most happy with this part of my race.....surprised myself at my pace.In the words of every American cyclist in the last 8 years...it was epic. Happy with official results here, think the bike might eventually be my anchor leg....felt strong, could have gone for days. What would you do differently?: Get a road bike! Transition 2
Comments: Felt wobbly! What would you do differently?: Not have my Yankz so tight.  Run
Comments: Felt heavy and awkward....was surprised how strange I felt. Did a lot of brick training, but couldn't get my groove in the race. 19/20 in my age group was a big let-down, will not be satisfied with this in the future....will really work to improve here. What would you do differently?: Stay on the bike....no, train more for the run. Post race
Warm down: Drank water, ate an orange, watched the awards.....I really want to get one, soon...... Event comments: There was supposed to be tons of stuff to do after the race, but no one knew where to go....but overall a great job by GoTriSports and the town of Hilton Head. Had a great time, a great first Triathlon, couldn't stop smiling (even smiling on my yucky run). Last updated: 2005-06-14 12:00 AM

Expert 683 Denver | Subject: RE: Suntrust Hilton Head Fall Triathlon Good job on your first tri! I know you've been waiting for it to come and working towards it for a while now. I think the first one's all about learning (well, most of them are, but especially the first) and knowing where you need work. Looks like you got that from it and you'll be able to adjust your training accordingly so you can keep improving. And smiling on the run? Even runners don't smile on the run! |

Master 2447 Marietta, Ga | Subject: RE: Suntrust Hilton Head Fall Triathlon Shannon, what an amazing accomplishment. I hope you're still smiling about this achievement. You did very well, especially considering it was your first triathlon. By the way, no one likes that run in to T1. What kind of bike are you riding? |

Elite Veteran 777 flatland | Subject: RE: Suntrust Hilton Head Fall Triathlon You did that time on a mountain bike????? Girl, you'll be hanging with the superfast folks when you move to a road bike. I went about that speed on my road bike with aero bars. Gah. VERY impressed. I was impressed before. Now I'm seriously, way super impressed. |

| Member 36 Atlanta | Subject: RE: Suntrust Hilton Head Fall Triathlon Good Job!!! Great time for a first. I had a great race, and would have had my best (sprint race) time of the season, but rode and additional LAP on the bike (Grrrrrrrrr). Need to learn how to count...... Look forward to seeing ya and some other races in the future. |

| Expert 660 state of denial | Subject: RE: Suntrust Hilton Head Fall Triathlon what chenryiv isnt telling you, is that even with the extra lap, he was the first one to finish out of our group. i think he was just showing off. |

| Veteran 102 NoVa | Subject: RE: Suntrust Hilton Head Fall Triathlon Great job. A friend did the spring version of this and is trying to get me to do it next spring. My only experience at that point will be three 400m pool sprints. Did you have much open water practice/experience? I'm worried about doing my first open water race in the ocean instead of a nice smooth lake. |

Funny.....okay, not for you. Congratulations on the great race. I'll be doing it again in the spring on a real bike and hopefully by then I'll be a better runner. |

Had a bagel with PNB and a banana two hours before.....sipped water until race. Had not planned on it being completely dark up until about 15 min. before the swim.....other than that, all went well.
Got in the ocean, ran in and out of the breakers to get my blood moving.
