Post race
Warm down:

walked back to car. put on cooler dry shirt and bra.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

used a 12 yEAR old mountain bike - very slow. I did not train much on hills. I am pretty happy, and see it as a start point - all others will be faster and faster. Next year I will be at the bottom of my age group ages wise - watch out!!!

Event comments:

as it was my first - I have nothing to compare it to!!! They need to do better for parking.

Great job on your race! Have you borrowed someone else's bike to try it? It was totally surprising to me how much difference a bike makes. I can't imagine doing that ride on a mountain bike - good for you!

Great Job! I went to watch some friends and I know it was very hectic in the transition area and getting to and from the event site. Don't let those things discourage you, most Triathlons are not like that. I'm glad you had fun. It was my first time watching a tri and not doing one.

Go Fast,
Mark

Congrats, we made it. Just arrived back in town from Denver/Flamming Gorge. I wish I could have met you and the other Gals. Maybe it would have helped with the pre-race jitters. I thought I was having a heart attack shen I saw how far the swim was. I about drowned on the way to the first blue bouy and almost quit. Luckily, I figured out how to turn on my side to breathe so I wouldn't gulp water instead of air. Your swim went fabulous. way to go...
