Swim
Comments: OMG water was FREEZING for August - 62 degrees! And usually I'd like that so I could wear my wetsuit but this river was never over my head so it was a great swim for a panicky swimmer (although lately that's not me - YAY ) Transition 1
Comments: Always slower with a wetsuit - and of course my feet were numb from the cold water so I took a few extra seconds. Bike
Comments: I did the sprint tri here last year and the bike was 2 loops. This year it was 3. Doing the same loop 3 times was mind numbing! If I go back next year it might be back to the sprint! It also started raining on lap 1 and continued through lap 3. It ended up stopping by the end of lap 3. Transition 2
Comments: meh. Run
Comments: Ah my arch nemsis the run. I had decided yesterday that I was going to give it my all on the run!! So when I got out there and the first 2 miles were agony because my calves were tight I thought "how am I going to run 6 miles?" Then they finally loosened up after mile 2. By mile 5 I was feeling pretty good and decided to go for it. My splits totally show it too :) Very pleased. Oh and in the middle the sun came out! I was afraid it would get too hot because the last 2 miles have no shade but it stayed cool enough - and then for the end the sun went back behind the clouds. Post race
Warm down: The awards took forever. Honestly I was expecting to leave with some bling because I knew last year there were only 2 people in my AG so we stuck around and YAY I got 2nd (out of 4 lol). It was a good day! Event comments: They need a new timing company. Not to mention the chip itself was mounted on a plastic thing that cut into my skin. blech. Other than that, this is a great local race with lots of volunteers! (in the photo, I'm on the right. #1 never showed so #3 and I shared the spot for the pic) Last updated: 2014-07-14 12:00 AM

Precipitation
Overall Rank = 52/71
Age Group = f4044
Age Group Rank = 2/4
This was an early one! Up at 4, out the door at 5 to get to the race about 6:30am!
The timing chips SUCKED. They are blanks all over the results page - not just mine. So since I have no swim time (but a 26 minute T1 time) I'll use the data from my garmin.
No real warm up
