Swim
Comments: The water was cold!! I felt like I was going slower than I really was. I was pretty surprised when I got my time. It was great to see Tom (madcow) when I got out of the water. I was exhausted, but I ran to transition extra fast after seeing him cheer me on. What would you do differently?: I need to get better at sighting. Transition 1
Comments: By the time I got to my transition area I was exhausted. My wetsuit came off pretty easily. I think the biggest contributor to the long transition time was the large distance I had to run. What would you do differently?: Nothing Bike
Comments: The bike went ok. I had a difficult time getting around people in the Sea World parking lot. What would you do differently?: Get a road bike :) Soon! Transition 2
Comments: I had a hard time racking my bike....my neighbors in the transition area did not leave me much room. Other than that, I already had my running shoes on, so the transition went pretty fast. Run
Comments: I felt fairly nauseous at the beginning of the run, and didn't think my legs could handle the whole thing. By mile 2 I was feeling much better and actually passing people! I saw a few other girls in my age group in the last 100m. I sprinted as hard as I could, but my short legs didn't help me too much. Overall I was very satisfied with my time. I finished over a minute faster than I was hoping for. What would you do differently?: I'd start pushing a little harder in mile 2. Post race
Warm down: Grabbed a glass of water, walked around and stretched. Grabed some Jamba Juice, and then another ;) Last updated: 2004-10-04 12:00 AM

I was one of the last waves,so I had over 2 hours at the race site before my wave. I ate a plum on the drive down, and then had a balance bar and some water once I reached the race site. I walked around and familiarized myself with the transition area.
Stretch. Ran 2 half mile warmups with 20 minutes rest in between. Usually I only run a half mile for my warm up, but I got bored waiting for my wave :)
