Started in knee deep water. After start everyone ran farther and I got run over a little. After start, I was in the middle-back of the pack. It was hard to move up and was stuck behind several slow swimmers. After several attempts to pass, finally gave up and swam an easy pace. First 100 meters, I kept swimming too far to the right off course. Lost my swim cap 10 min before race and had to run and get another.

WARM UP!!!!

Pretty good transition. Needed water, but only had gatorade.

Bring water with me

Crashed at about mile 1. Keith and I lowered the handle bars on Sat night and shifted all my weight to the front instead of the saddle. The bike felt twitchy the whole day. I was cautious on the downhills and did not feel comfortable. Did not have any water. I thought I could get water at the course and all the coolers had gatorade. I was very thirsty on the bike course. I HATE blue gatorade!!

DO NOT MAKE ADJUSTMENTS THE NIGHT BEFORE!!! Bring water with me.

did not get the bike all the way on the rack the first time (not used to the lowered bars!!)

Luckily they had water bottles coming out of T2. started off with alot of walking the first mile. About 1/2 & 1/2 the second mile and 2/3 jogging the third mile.

None


The crash hurt my confidence. Lack of water on bike hurt alot too.
