 Swim
What would you do differently?: Keep away from the clydes  Transition 1
Comments: "strippers" just out of water got me half way - then I ran up forever with Derreck taking a million photos - not a pretty site in my ugly bra.... need cuter bra. What would you do differently?: The lady in the transition zone next to me was very slow and meticulous, I lost momentum....  Bike
Comments: choked on the hill - should have just kept it in low and kept going. What would you do differently?: Not jump off and walk.... Transition 2
 Run
Comments: I was more afraid of falling than going slow - so I walked 90% of it. Walked with a lady who had been pulled out of the water from panic but got back on her bike to do her best. She was bleeding on the run from a fall on the bike - you go, girl! Whenever the course veared near the parking lot, there was Derreck with the camera. As I rounded the last corners I hear something.... "GO GO Go - Allez allez allex" there is Derreck standing on a big rock shouting out "Cup of Life" (theme song for the World Cup Soccar a few years ago.... People looking around trying to figure out who this brown man is singing to - yep, I am married to Ricky Martin.... What would you do differently?: should have had a goo shot at T2 Post race
Warm down: pounded the water. ate some fruit. found family. Went and camped for 3 days in Zion and then spent 2 nights in Las Vegas.... Had the best message of my life at the spa in the Sahara hotel. What limited your ability to perform faster: Was truly undertrained. Event comments: Very sad to hear that someone died during the swim. http://www.christophereborn.com/ Everyone should take their parents to a tri - bring the motor home too! Great to have one's own "piddleatorium" Train more for next time... Last updated: 2006-01-14 12:00 AM

Pro 5153 Helena, MT | Subject: RE: SGTRI - Sprint Well, if a not cute enough bra was the worst part, you're doing pretty well! Way to go, Mary, incredible race! Sounds really tough. Where was it located, since I was just there the week before... and was it off-road? |

Elite 3972 Reno | Subject: RE: SGTRI - Sprint The bike was on road but the run was off road - a geologist run, I would call it - sand, rock, pediment, drainages.... Sand Hollow State Park to the south of St George and Hurricane. |

Drove out to St George Utah with Derreck and Annie. We cruised down exploration memory lane across highway 50 saw an antelope and Derreck said it was a good omen, then we run into the nevada Passage adventure series reality tv show people. They were happy to see us and almost got us to be volunteers and hand out water. we hit the road. We got in to st george that evening and saw my parents, who became our fabulour roadies. We went Friday to the reservoir and met some nice ladies from salt lake - my mom leant some flip flops to one of the - I don;'t mind sharing our roadies. we swam out to the rocks a couple times and chatted.... I coulda stayed all day - I feel like a porpoise. Maybe in a past life I was a porpoise.
ate a tone of pasta the night before. woke up, drank coffee with Annie. Ate some granola and bread with pb. drove out to race site.
