Well, I did awesome and was on track for 30 laps in 30 minutes, but at lap 23 I felt really sick and almost threw up. I stopped and hung out at the side of the pool for 5 minutes. I felt a little better after that.

Swim more in training, and not get sick.

It went well! I was more organized this year and knew I didn't have much time for transition, but had 3 minutes left when I got upstairs.

Nothing :)

Well, I almost ran someone over on my precor stationary bike!!!

My bike went well, other than not being able to get my SPDs to work on the pedals. I had the resistance at 3, and was going at about 100 cadence most of the time. I did well, but I think the recorded bike distance was off.

Practice on the precor stationary bikes.

Went well - I walked around and stretched.

Wow - my max HR was 191! I started at 6.0 and went up slowly - 6.2 at 8minutes, 6.4 at 15 minutes, etc. I started increasing 0.2mph/minute at 20minutes and ended at 8.5mph. I guess I could have ran the first 15 minutes at a faster pace, but I didn't know I would have that much energy left at the end.

Train at a faster pace

Wobbled as I was trying to get off the dreadmill...stammered over to the other BTers...my legs were jello!!! I recovered pretty quickly - stretched for a while and talked with the BTers.


#1 Training.
#2 Feeling sick on the swim.


I really enjoyed this race and wish I would've trained more for it...I needed a kick in the butt. I am glad I was able to finish - I didn't think I would be able to when I got sick in the pool, but it went away. It was fun hanging out with BTers afterward and at the Loring Pasta Bar, even though their service was definitely subpar.

My overall rankings are for women only, I didn't account for the men.
