Good Swim. Very choppy by the time I got into pool but I swam well. Didn't encounter too much bunching up with other swimmers until the last 50 meters which was good. I did, however, get kicked in the stomach and crotch by some asshat who used me rather than the wall to push off of.....later, when we started the bike, he went the wrong way in transition.....and headed toward the run start...I smiled to myself as I went the right way. Sweet revenge!

Not get kicked in the stomach and crotch....train more to increase speed.

Slower than I wanted. Long run into transition area....need to hustle a little bit more and get away from using camelbak...that should save a little time.

Practice transitions more.

Nice ride...not quite as fast as last year but I worked on keeping cadence high and the ride went well. The cadence was mostly in the mid 80s which is good for me. I passed a few people and that felt good. I was much more comfortable this year with my bike handling, hydration and clipless pedals....it's nice to see improvement.

Ride lots...keep improving.

Good transition...felt strong and ran out of transition to start run.

Keep working on transitions.

Pretty good...need to continue really pushing the running but I felt good and didn't have my back and hip pain that I've been experiencing lately. Weather conditions really helped me because it wasn't too hot or humid.

Work and improve on run training.

Walked around and headed straight away for something to drink. Hung out with my hubby, Jimbo, and my sister-in-law and niece. Relaxed, had some nice cold smoothies, took some pictures.


Training consistency, coming down with stomach flu week before race which resulted in week off from training and food.


Nice race for beginners, great course and very well organized. It was nice to do this race again this year and have a smoother race than my sprint in June which was really rough. This course and race was a nice confidence booster.
