it was my first open water swim, so i didnt really know what to expect. i started off really slow, yet could not get my breathing down to do every 2 strokes, had to do every stroke. the swim seemed long and it was hard.

i did my best i would not do anything different except train more, and towards the end push a little harder.

i did not go hard enough on the bike, towards the end i really started pushing it, tryin to hang with a guy and pass him, could not then right at the end of the race on a corner were we transition, he slamed on his brakes, i did too, went flying over my handlebars, suxed! got up very dizzy, walked my bike into the transition area, still dizzy, started to run, dizzy for about 100yards, blood running down my leg and arms, from cuts.

APPLY brakes the equal amount, do not try to catch someone in the last hundred yards.

well i was dazed and dizzy from fall so went real slow on transition

i first started out the run slow, b/c of crash, then tried to pick it up after about 2 miles.

run harder

walked


crashed


it was only my second race, so it was good, i went farther on my swim than i ever have, and besides the crash, it felt good and i am happy i finished.
