The water was very choppy - the worst I have been in so far. I found it hard to breath. I think I sucked in 40 waves..hehe. It did make it hard for me to get technique down because I was just trying to get through it. My stomach was pretty upset too before the race - I figured out later that I drank spoiled milk in my coffee. I thought it tasted funny!

Note to self...smell the milk before putting it in my coffee. :) I need more open water practice and work on technique.

This was not as good as I would have liked. I was out of breath from the swim and my suit got stuck on my heels - time to invest in some bodyglide. The TA was on a good incline, I think that was not good for me either as I found it harder to balance on one leg to get my suit off. Drank some Cytomax before grabbing my bike and heading off.

Bodyglide

Some pretty rough road. I think there were more uphills than downhills. One great big hill right as we came out of the TA. I got stuck behind 2 guys coming out of the TA. They were having trouble getting clipped in and blocked the narrow exit.

Actually suprised that speed was so good (at least for me :)) I'm pretty happy with it.

This was an average transition. Had a little trouble racking the bike. Drank more cytomax and headed out.

I could always go faster. :)

I finally caught up with 2 girls in my age group and passed them. I felt really good. Too many hills though! :)

Walking, Streching, Cheering on my hubby and our friends for theie race.


Technique and the HILL.


Good race. I do however look forward to the 3 week break before the next race.
