Shoulders a little tight from previous day riding 100 miles at HHH in Wichita Falls. Basically though, I am a horrible swimmer. I think my grandma could have beat me out. I will get better though. I think I most definitely have "runner's kick" after reading the article because I have been running for 11 years, cycling for 3, and swimming about 2 years.

I need to devote more time to drills and technique. Do more reading, video watching, and get some coaching advice.

No problems in transition area other than people walking in front of me. I guess I just feel that I should be moving fast the entire time. I probably look pretty spastic out there.

Nothing

Felt good considering the ride from the day before. I usually never get passed, but was passed by a few guys today, but at least I kept any girls (especially in my division) from passing me. Ha ha, of course, after my slow swim, all I do is play chase on the bike, which is actually kind of fun.

Nothing

Transition went smootly

Felt good. Course was not marked, so I was unsure of what mile I was on. I saw a 2, so I figured that was mile 2 so I kept looking for mile 3. I looked so long that before I knew it I was at the finish.

Run at a stronger pace. I kept conserving energy expecting my body to finally give out after a tough weekend, but it never did. I really need to start running harder and getting out of my comfort zone.

Did not warm-down


Some tightness from HHH on previous day.
Poor swimming ability


Finished 4th in my division out of 12 (one girl DNF) Good race, will do it again (if I don't have an olympic distance one to do). Yucky water though.
