I did not like swimming in a lake. This was my first lake swim and it was so muddy you couldn't see very far in the water and that was hard for me to get compfortable and spot. But overall I did well in the swim - I got 2nd out of all the females.
What would you do differently?:

Not spot as much and trust that I can swim in a striaght line

I was a little disoriented because when I got to T1 my helmet was knocked on the ground and my glasses were no where to be found but once i found everything I think I did ok- still no bike shoes so had to put on my sneakers
What would you do differently?:

Put helmet and glasses on ground no bike seat

Comments:

I was disappointed with my bike I thought I would go a lot faster since I figured out the importance of air in your tires. This is my weakest event and I still need a lot of work. I felt like my legs were burnin the whole time.
Transition 2
  • 00m 40s
Comments:

I was a mess here too - I biked my bike on the wrong rack so I couldn't find my running gear. But once I did I ran while putting my hat and belt on and getting my garmi set so i think I moved pretty quickly

Comments:

Felt great on the run - no jello legs off the bike but it was HOT!! Passed a few girls in the begining of the run and I wished I had another girl in front of me at the end that I could see because i think I would ahve pushed it harder but I she was too far ahead and that meant I knew I couln't catch her.
