 Swim
Comments: Horrible swim!! Ended up doing the tarzan for a while. Then gave up and did back stroke. Couldn't see hands in front of face because the lake was murky as heck. Very cold water. There was a definite panic involved here--lots of tangling with other people and got kicked in the ribs by someone doing breast stroke. What would you do differently?: Warm up more. Spent a lot of time trying to acclimate to water temp, but not much warming up  Transition 1
Comments: Longish run up from the lake to the transition area, but they had swept the parking lot and there was a green fake grass mat to run on, so it was good. Took some time to wipe off my feet and get my gloves on properly (lesson learned from last race!). Could have been faster, but overall I felt like it was a good pace for me after that bad swim. What would you do differently?: Nothing  Bike
Comments: Bike was awesome. Course was nice, challenging, but not ridiculous. I had a lot of fun on this course, and was faster than expected. What would you do differently?: Eat another gu about 15 miles in--more important for the run than it was for the bike, but need to pay more attention to the nutrition on the bike since I can't eat solid/semi-solid food while running Transition 2
 Run
Comments: Ugh--had cramp in calf for first half mile. Stopped and stretched it out a little, then it was fine. Had to walk some, but not too much. Got attacked by a bird about 0.5 mi from end What would you do differently?: Try to get HR down earlier so I could run more Post race
Warm down: walked around a little with Mindi, but really just drinking a lot of fluids Event comments: Great race. Very well organized. Loved the environment Last updated: 2015-07-07 12:00 AM

Sunny
Overall Rank = /
Age Group = 35-39
Age Group Rank = 6/6
Breakfast at hotel (2 hard boiled eggs and a bagel with peanut butter plus two cups of coffee), got to venue at about 6:30 and set up on the end of my rack--sweet spot! Tried to get body marked, but the marker wouldn't write on my skin (I was sweaty). Walked around a while and went to the pre-race meeting. Then got body marked again with a different marker (edit: it is now five days after the race and I still know I was #147 because I have the remains of body marking on both legs still)
Not too much--really just walking around drinking water. Probably drank too much water
