 Swim
Comments: The swim kinda sucked. There was a fairly strong current. When the first wave started it didn't look like they were moving at all, and I got a little worried, but I was able to swim against it. It wasn't pretty but I made it. What would you do differently?: Swim closer to the buoys  Transition 1
Comments: My wetsuit came off really easily! I didn't feel dizzy like I did after Lake T, so I was able to move fairly quickly. What would you do differently?: Nothing  Bike
Comments: As soon as I got on the bike I started picking people off, and I only got passed a couple times. My goal was to go hard but not too hard, and I am pleased with my results. I drank an entire bottle of diluted Gatorade and I'm glad I did because I needed it before the run! What would you do differently?: Try to stay aero the whole time. Transition 2
Comments: I wasn't a huge fan of the transition racks because they weren't high enough off the ground and I nearly knocked the whole thingover trying to get my bike on and off. Other than that it was fine. What would you do differently?: nothing  Run
Comments: As usual, a lot of the people I passed on the bike passed me on the run. I reallly need to work on my running. I did ok, but I wish I'd done it in under 30 minutes. I walked through the water stations so I could have a moment to drink and get doused with water. What would you do differently?: Run the WHOLE run. Post race
Warm down: Got my finisher's medal and waited for Ashley to finish. Then the 4 of us drove into Philli for authentic cheese steaks. What limited your ability to perform faster: Sucking at swimming. Event comments: I was very impressed with this race. It was very organized, the race announcer got everyone psyched as we were waiting in the water, there were lots of volunteers, they had the road closed to traffic, and the overall vibe was positive and fun.

Pro 3903 Andover | Subject: RE: Philadelphia Women's Triathlon Woo Hoo... CONGRATS! I think you did really well, especially in that nasty current!  Very nice bike split and good job in the Ts as well. And don't be so hard on yourself, you cut a good run. You should be proud of your results! BTW: You're diggin' that diluted Gatorade, aren't cha'? |

Champion 19812 MA | Subject: RE: Philadelphia Women's Triathlon Congrats Polly!! Awesome race....like that bike time....picking people off is sweet! Swimming in a current sounds tough but you did it! Run time well it is the bane of many of us.....you are way faster than I was when I started. Nice race all the way...MOP in your first "real" tri is amazingly great! Sounds like a fun race.... I can't wait to see how you do next time at Lake T! |

Expert 795 Oak Ridge, | Subject: RE: Philadelphia Women's Triathlon Congrats! Great race. You did great in the swim especially given the current you had to go against. No opportunity to practice for that in Lake T. You threw down a great bike split. Nice transitions. Your run is nothing to be ashamed of. Doesn't do you any good running the whole thing but not being able to drink what you need. Better to walk the aid stations if it helps you with drinking. Top 30% of first timers = awesome.

Member 40 Williamstown, NJ | Subject: RE: Philadelphia Women's Triathlon Polly - Great job on yesterday's race. It was my first race, and I have to say I had a great time, even if my times totally SUCKED. Came in REALLY BOP, but can only improve from there, right?!? That current in the river was a bit intimindating since I'm only used to swimming in a pool. LOVED having it push me on the way back in!! My husband took LOTS of pictures during the race, so if you're interested, send me your bib # and email address and I'll see if he has any of you! (this goes for anyone else who participated too!)

Got up at 5. Packed up the rest of my stuff and we checked out of the hotel. Grabbed a bagel and headed for the race site. Got body-marked, argued with a mechanic to get air in my tires, set up transition, and watched the first waves go.
No real warm up.
