 Swim
Comments: First co-ed wave start for me. Great googly-moogly MEN are MEAN in wave starts. I really had to fight for my spot in the first 100 yds, once I got my place, I felt fantastic. What would you do differently?: Position myself differently in the wave at the start to find my spot easier. I was 100% accurate on sighting and rounded each buoy closely.  Transition 1
Comments: This included a 2/10th of a mile run up a steep grassy hill to the t-area. I had a hard time getting into my pedals out of transition, I kept slipping off.  Bike
Comments: Nice flat and fast course, with some rollers. Well marked course this year. Hard not to be in the draft position with everyone bunched up. It was so nice to have the slow swim waves go first, I actually passed people on both the bike and run. What would you do differently?: Nothing for this ride, but I need more hill training. Transition 2
Comments: Smoking fast T2 for me. Couldn't have gone better.  Run
Comments: This was one of my fastest 5k times ever. I loved that I had people ahead of me that I could pass. I just kept reeling them in one at a time and that really motivated me. I pushed this run hard and felt it in my lungs. What would you do differently?: Nothing. Post race
Warm down: Walked around until I stopped wheezing and then had a beer and pizza and waited around to win the Orbea bike. Unfortunately, they got my number mixed up with someone elses. What limited your ability to perform faster: Need more bike hill work and endurance. Event comments: A fun race with a very elite group of athletes. The overall female winning times were 1:08 and 1:10 and the 1:08 was in my age group. I wish I could have been top 10 in my AG or better than top 28% overall women, but this was a fast group. BTW- I need a tri bike. I'm going to be doing some shopping. Last updated: 2007-06-04 12:00 AM

Einstein's Power Bagel with PB, banana. Drove to site and got into transition early so I got a great spot. Went potty, ran for a bit, and ate the rest of the bagel and a gel prior to the swim.
