Comments:

Once again, I got beat up a lot. I think I liked it better when I just trailed the pack the whole way. I started to get my rhythm finally about mid-way through. I even drafted a bit at one point.
What would you do differently?:

Sight better after the last turn - don't veer left.

Comments:

I was really dizzy coming out of the water. That happens sometimes. Last year I took meds for it, but I haven't had to this year. I had a really hard time getting my shoes on, because every time I put my head down I'd start to fall over.
What would you do differently?:

I don't know that I can do anything different to control the dizzies.

Comments:

While lots of people caught me on the run, I will not complain. I also caught a couple of folks AND I felt good throughout. So, while it wasn't screaming fast, it was a good run for me.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing - I had a good run and great positive self-talk.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around, stretched, drank lots of water, ate cookies.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

You mean besides not doing much this year because of the ever-present IT band issue?
