Good time for me. Only had to stop at one turn to go around someone. There was a little bit of a pile up at the ladder trying to get out of the pool, which cost me a few seconds.

Dropped a little about a minute from the June Race

Nothing really!

I lost about five seconds at the mount/dismount line trying to get my foot into the cage.

This bike leg was great! I flew and was having a really good time too! I drank two water bottles full, had a hammer gel, and was still really thirsty! Oh yeah, and most importantly i stayed on my bike this time.

Dropped five minutes from the June Race

Make sure to hydrate well the night before and morning of the race. Trade my morning soda for water.

Good here, grabbed a drink of gatorade and off i went!

nothing

OKAY, so this run course has to be short, even shorter than 4.8 cause i don't run this fast. I know the course and i didn't short cut, but i just don't run at that speed. Even on really really good days. And while i felt awesome on the run and felt like i was running fast, i just don't think i ran that fast. So maybe the course was short. Even so i dropped five minutes from the june race. I felt really parched the whole run. Couldn't drink enough water.

Hydrate better.

Walked around and talked to some more competitors. Waited for the awards, and then off to play some softball!


lack of hydration the night before and moring of the race.


I think this was my best race all season. I just felt like i was flying, and i had a really good time. It was just soo much fun!! I love this sport. The fact that i placed and dropped 11 minutes from my time in June was just icing on the cake. Can't wait til next year's race.
