 Swim
Comments: There weren't many women in my wave. Probably around 30. I ended up starting behind some girls that were much slower than me. I was kicked and slapped a couple of times. I had to slow down to find an opening to get around them. After I rounded the first buoy I started to get into my groove. I drafted off the lead girl until we rounded the second buoy. Then she started to go a little off course so I ended up passing her. I was first out of the water in my wave. She ended up passing me into transition because my hair got caught up in my wetsuit. I need to remember next time to unzip my wetsuit before I take my cap off. I am pretty sure the swim course was short. What would you do differently?: Start in the front. Unzip my wetsuit before I take my cap off.  Transition 1
Comments: My T1 time is always slow. My wetsuit came off easily. Most of the time was spent on washing off my feet. Maybe I don't really need clean feet for future races. What would you do differently?: Be more efficient.  Bike
Comments: I am fairly pleased with my bike performance. I was leap frogging with a couple of women at the beginning of the course but I picked up my paced and passed them on the second loop. I think that I could have pushed myself even more. I guess I like to slip into old bad habits. What would you do differently?: Push myself more. Transition 2
Comments: This was my first race with clipless so my time is slower than I am used to. What would you do differently?: Practice my transitions more.  Run
Comments: I allowed myself to walk too much this race. I could have done a lot better. What would you do differently?: Not be such a wimp and suck it up! Post race
Warm down: None. What limited your ability to perform faster: I could have done much better on the run. I need to work on my endurance. Event comments: This was a fun race. I have done other races on the same course and really like the course. I ended up winning a prize in the drawing. Some Nuun and a water bottle. I will do this race again in the future.

Expert 1238 Denver, Colorado | Subject: RE: 5 Mile Lake Triathlon Yo Harmony, nice job on the race. Your swim tactics were especially slick, but you should definitely institute a no-walking policy on the run. |

I woke up at my normal time for work. 4:00am. I had everything ready to go I just had to put it in my car. I got to the park at around 5:45. Check in started at 6 so I sat in my car for a little bit and listened to music. I ate some Simbree for breakfast. After I received my packet and stuff I set up my transition area. Soon some of my tri teammates arrived and I talked to them while waiting for the race to get started.
I thought about warming up but my wave was starting 15 minutes after the first wave and I was worried that I would get too cold standing around wet. I don't ever really warm up anyway.
