This swim was better than the last! I remembered to put my goggles on first. I wasn't panicky this time which help me in the first 200 meter. I did rub up against people but it was not anything aggressive. (I didn't get kicked in the face this time!)

Try to swim faster. I am very slow compared to the other racers.

My wetsuit got caught on my watch and a little on my heels(timing chip). I really felt better this time running up the hill to the transition area. I ate a powergel and drank. I still do not have clipless pedals. Biked in my running shoes.

Not eat a powergel. (it caused a stomach cramp on the run segment) Practice transitioning, see if I can get the time down a bit.

I feel like I picked up the pace a bit on the bike. There was another lady that biked about the same as I did. She would pass me on the hills and I would pass her on the flats. It really helped me to push myself.

Pretty happy with my bike, just practice more hills.

My shoe came untied the last mile or two of the bike so I waited to tie it in the transition area.

I got a stomach cramp pretty bad, I believe it was because I ate a powergel. I had to slow my pace and run through it. It did get better toward the end and I could pick up the pace.

I could have ran faster. I didn't give 100%.

Walking around


Stomach cramp.


HFP puts on great races!! I always enjoy myself and they are very well organized! I am glad I finished my 2nd Tri!
