Swim
Comments: First triathlon ever, not the best swim in world, but I finished! My goal was 25 min, and beat that goal by a good 5 min! I forgot to put my googles down over my eyes, but turned over and fixed them. I swtiched between freestyle, side stroke, backstroke and even threw in a little doggie paddling for good measure. :) What would you do differently?: Try to relax a little more, definitely need to continue to work on swimming. Transition 1
Comments: Long path from water to TA area, walked up it, recovering from swim. What would you do differently?: Run from water to TA Bike
Comments: Finished the bike in under an hour! I was very happy with that. Goal was 1 hr 5 min. My bike chain came completely off my bike at mile 10, so I had to stop, get off my bike and fix it. I had never fixed a bike chain before, but I definitely wasn't about to quit.... What would you do differently?: Try not to switch gears so much, take a bike maintenance clinic. Transition 2
Comments: Good transition for me. Legs a little shaky from the ride, so nice little recovery before the run. What would you do differently?: Nothing Run
Comments: Ok, so definitely not the best 5k time, but I had actually planned on a 45 minutes 5k, so again, passed my goals. Walked a good portion of the run, but was ok with that. I did fall down (twisted my ankle and fell) and had a great Miame Vice roll on the asphalt, but got back up and continued to run. What would you do differently?: Not sure, just more practice..... Post race
Warm down: Walked around, made some water and gatorade.....good stuff. What limited your ability to perform faster: Have only been training 6-7 weeks, so just need more training. Event comments: This is my first ever triathlon, I wanted to finish in 2 hr 30 min and completely crushed that goal! Even though I came in 5th from last, I came in! Thanks to my husband and all fellow BT'ers for being at the finish line to cheer me across. I had a great time..... Last updated: 2007-05-09 12:00 AM

Sunny
Overall Rank = 71/76
Age Group = 30-34
Age Group Rank = 8/8
Woke up at 5:15 a.m., ate 100% WW english muffin w/ peanut butter and a banana.
No real warm up, got in the lake and did a lap to test wetsuit and water temp. Felt much more relaxed from doing this.
