Really was working hard. Also, water was very warm (even for me!) Unfortunately, a man in the wave ahead of us had problems on the swim and the lifeboat was all the way at the other end of the course. About 5 women swam out to help him before the boat got there. (The race director held up our wave a few minutes to give those ladies additional rest time. They were applauded when they returned to the bank).

Shouldn't have tried so hard on the swim. I was very winded coming out, and it probably wasn't worth it to sacrifice my lungs so hard on the swim which may have made my bike a little slower. However, it was nice to see a better swim time.

Was still pretty winded from the hard swim and ~1/4 mile sprint just to get to the transition area.

Nothing. Very happy.

Extremely happy with the bike. Pushed hard the whole way, not even worrying about having enough for the run. I'm a distance athlete, I know there will be something left in the tank for that.

Keep working on it.

Could've been a little faster getting socks and shoes on, but overall not bad.

This is my favorite part. Always can catch someone. Just kept up my pace and picked off people one at a time. Had to sprint to finish, because a spectator yelled "COME ON, YOU CAN CATCH HER!" Since there was not a woman in front of me, I knew I was the target. Had to put on the jets because someone was gaining on me. She finished right behind me. Great finish for both of us.

Nothing. Gave it all I had.

Walking around, chatting, congratulating everyone for a good race.


Old age! (just kidding!)


Had a great time. Had to hurry and clean up for church. Didn't even have time for the awards picture. Sorry guys.
