![]() Swim
Comments: To the first buoy was tough. I think I started to panic and only swam with my head above water. After settling it, it went really well...besides being kicked in the face and being cut off a couple of times. What would you do differently?: Start better. I liked where I started, I just wasn't used to that kind of start. Do somemore ocean swims. ![]() Transition 1
Comments: AH! I got on my bike and the chain came off! It didn't just come off, it got stuck...so stuck that 2 ppl had to help me get it off. ![]() Bike
Comments: That was a bummer because I was coming off such a high from the swim. Plus, my training partner passed me. It took so long that I was really far behind that I couldn't really make up. It felt like 10 minutes! It was 3 laps around fashion island. I could pass a lot of ppl on the climbs but would get passed on the flats. I was way too timid on the turns. 1st lap was horrible, but momentum started building for lap 2 and 3. What would you do differently?: Make sure bike is in working order, right, right before we start!!! Plus, play with gears more and practice with clip in shoes! Feel more comfortable with bike in general. ![]() Transition 2
Comments: I threw everything down and ran! What would you do differently?: Run harder! ![]() Run
Comments: I think I could have pushed it harder. My run started out really well. My legs just felt like flying! I sprinted the end because some guy told me to..hehe. What would you do differently?: Run the race distance faster more often. ![]() Post race
Warm down: Walked around, tried to stretch. What limited your ability to perform faster: Bike. I almost started crying! Event comments: I liked it. I wish I would have pushed myself more. Pain is now, pride is forever! Last updated: 2004-05-08 12:00 AM

The night before I went over a checklist. The morning of, I got dressed and ate a packet of instant oatmeal (cinnamon flavor).
Ran to the beach swim. Here, I checked out some of the people getting in the water (really muddy). Then a run around the parking lot. Light stretching.
