 Swim
Comments: The swim went as expected, no real issues. I am starting to really love the swim portion of a race. Only issue was when it got into the channel, there was a lot of contact that was not needed. What would you do differently?: nothing  Transition 1
Comments: T1 went fine, I put on socks here instead of waiting for the run. What would you do differently?: learn to have shoes already on the bike  Bike
Comments: The bike was good, since my AG started almost last in the water, I got the chance to pass alot of people instead of being passed! We had a headwind for the first 12-13 miles, then tailwind which made a huge difference What would you do differently?: more biking Transition 2
Comments: I am a tenderfoot, hate running in grass without shoes  Run
Comments: it was hott. I had some goals here since this is typically where my run falls apart. I wanted to run the entire thing and hit under 1 hour. I ended up having to stop at all water stations due to the 90+ degree weather, and no shade on this course. was very tough What would you do differently?: practice running on the sun??? Post race
Warm down: shade! Drank water ate some fruit and headed upstairs to lay down and shower What limited your ability to perform faster: the heat no dount Event comments: I love this venue and race. I set a new PR on this course and hit just about all my goals, I was able to race my race, and it paid off! I will have a mroe detailed race report on my blog soon! Last updated: 2011-12-15 12:00 AM

Got up at 5 and got ready, hit the restroom, then went to set up transition. Came back to room to use bathroom again, before going downstairs.
swam the start and swam the swim exit like normal, hung out and talked to friends and before I knew it, it was time to line up
