 Swim
Comments: I was hot with the wetsuit on. Swimming is by far my best leg.  Transition 1
Comments: No socks on the bike and didn't miss them.  Bike
Comments: Had one GU and one and a half water bottles of watered-down Gatorade. Did not use the on-course bottle exchange. My worst leg, as usual. Transition 2
Comments: Long way to run in biking shoes.  Run
Comments: Had one GU on the run during second loop. I counted people that I passed to entertain myself during the run. I got up to 83 people. Of course, they were not all doing the same race as I was. Some were in the sprint. Post race
Warm down: Changed my wet clothes right away and then waited to get a picture of Janette and Linda finishing. After Janette finished, I contemplated asking some of the finishers if they passed a woman wearing a leg brace. I never did ask anyone but as I was waiting, quite a few came in with leg braces. One woman had one on each leg! What limited your ability to perform faster: I can't complain…what am I saying?…of course I can complain. I wanted to go faster. Why didn't I? Too old! I could weigh less! Don't train hard enough! We've all got a million excuses. Truthfully, I'm happy to be able to do this and am thankful. Event comments: Awesome race. They have the best swag. This year we all received a nice-quality tri bag. They have plenty of giveaways at the award ceremony. Excellent healthy food! Last updated: 2014-08-12 12:00 AM

Sunny
Overall Rank = 188/400
Age Group = F60-64
Age Group Rank = 1/1
Up at 3:15 a.m. to leave the house by 4:00. Arrived at Linda's on time and then Janette's early. Good thing we did because Route 313 was closed with a serious accident. Long story short, we got lost and arrived way later than we had planned. We had to park a mile away from T1. That meant a lousy spot on the rack. At least we got there in time to compete.
None.
