 Swim
Comments: Just kept getting in a glump of folks trying to get around the bouys, but was pretty happy with my swim overall. Didn't get seasick! What would you do differently?: Push it a bit more. Get my arms and shoulders in better shape before Miami. They bothered me the rest of the race.  Transition 1
Comments: Still working on the clipins on the new bike, but it was ok. Need some tri shoes. What would you do differently?: Not much...just do it all faster  Bike
Comments: I had a blast and actually passed a few folks. Then to be humbled by the whirring of a disc wheeled serious triathlete passing me by. Saw one guy with SERIOUS lycra degeneration but he had a nice hiney so I didn't tell him. I love my new bike. I am going to get a fitting for it before the next race. What would you do differently?: I would like to dial in my bike a bit better. I think narrower handlebars, and maybe some aero bars would help me just grind it out on a flat course like this. Transition 2
Comments: I really want to learn the thing about leaving your shoes on the bike, and maybe no socks. My feet were so squishy. What would you do differently?: Not much, just faster again. Maybe get tri shoes for bike and learn how to leave them clipped in.  Run
Comments: It was hot and I was tired. I was VERY happy I brought my water bottle along, as there was one stop you hit at mile 1 and 2, with lukewarm water. Ate a Jolly Rancher cherry at the turn around. It was hard to keep myself running because my SHOULDERS hurt. My legs were ready to roll...weird. I'll have to work on that for Miami. The scenery was nice. Passed my sister who doesn't really run, on the out/back, and slipped her a Jolly Rancher candy. What would you do differently?: I wouldn't let that woman with the 45 on the back of her leg pass me in the last minute of the race.... Post race
Warm down: Drank more colder water, ate an apple and some grapes, got DS ready for his kids duathlon. Ran about a mile with him during his race, DH had to do the rest. (Kid on training wheel bike is faster than I run!) What limited your ability to perform faster: Shoulder/arm strength of all things, and a head cold, and always, need to train more and harder! Event comments: They could have used some more help, but they pulled off an amazing race with those they had. The swim was just a bit late, they had to get the bouys set up and seemed they could have used extra folks on the water. It was very well organized and beautifully supported with great sponsors and an AWESOME AWESOME post race party with free dinner and drinks on the Pier in St. Pete where my sister won a cruise to the Bahamas!

Expert 1205 Herndon VA | Subject: RE: Publix Family Fitness Weekend Coca-Cola Classic Tr Hey Ann, Great race! Those were some fast swim and bike times, especially with a head cold. That was strange with your shoulders effecting your run. It sounds like you had a good time and way to hold off the women in your age group at the finish. Tell your sister congratulations on winning the trip and congratulations to you on a great finish. Ernie |

Fighting off the cold I received from DS's first week at preschool. Ate a bar and some pretzels and drank water. Got a call from my sister that she was still in Orlando at 5am, but she made it to the race. Tried not to stress about that. Got my bike together, got set up and walked to the beach with DS and DH.
Got in the water and put my face in a few times to test my goggles for leakage. Peed while I was there. Watched bouys getting set up and other waves start.
