![]() Swim
Comments: I need to learn to not slow down when people are swimming up behind me. I thought they would swim over me. I need to get more comfortable with the waves and ocean swims. I wanted sub 1:00 and could have achieved it if I would not have freaked out when the waves came up behind me. What would you do differently?: Swim stronger. Got a fater start before the other groups came up on me. Keep working on open water. ![]() Transition 1
Comments: I could not find the strap to remove the wetsuit. It is a long run to the transition and then out to start the bike. I should have run with the bike. The girl next to me fell. That freaked me out. She was OK. What would you do differently?: Faster run to trasition, work on gettting wet suit off faster. ![]() Bike
Comments: I could not get comfortable in Aero Condition. What would you do differently?: Work on Aero. Get computer calibrated. ![]() Transition 2
What would you do differently?: faster at shoes and socks. Put on Vasoline. ![]() Run
Comments: I got blister so bad I could not run. I tried but just felt like my feet were going to explode. I had that IT hip thing going on for the last three weeks. I was really unsure if i would be able to run anyway. Spend a year injury free and then two weeks before my hip starts killing me. So having that to deal with, I am happy. What would you do differently?: Keep training for transtion runs, Find some shoes or orthopedics that help my feet from blistering ![]() Post race
Warm down: Kissed my kids and carried them across the finish line. What limited your ability to perform faster: blisters and anxieties on the swim Event comments: A great race and so many stations and volunteers that it makes other races seem unorganized Last updated: 2005-12-01 12:00 AM

Gotup early and drank coffee. Ate Power bar and bananna. Prayed, walked around and visited with friends.
Stretched, put on wet suit, got in water for a brief swim.
