The best swim I've had. I was at 13:44 out of the water before I ran up the sand to the transition area. The water was nice. I kept telling myself to calm down which seemed to help. A HUGE improvement from my first triathlon swim. Not too much zig zagging either. Overall, it was good and I enjoyed it and felt like I did well.

It was good. I did have a feeling that I had forgotten something but I didn't. I might have felt this way because it went well. :)

I need to work on climbing hill. I really suck at it. Basically just kept my legs moving and tried different things with the gears to see what worked. I had a much better time of it after the turn around. I did get over some speed fears though. I ate and drank on the bike without stopping. I did walk for a few minutes which gave me new legs for the rest of the ride. Overall, I enjoyed it and thought I did pretty well for my second tri.

Remember to grab my water bottle on the run.

It was hot. People are SO nice! Lots had finished already but plenty were still out and cheering us on. My friend ran with me the last half mile or so to the finish. Lots of hot marines all along the course.

Walked around drank water, ate bananas and oranges. sport beans. I really really jabber incessantly after a race I am so excited to have finished. :)


I need more experience with it all - the swim, bike and running.


Well organized, on time, beautiful and nice people all around me - an excellent day I'd say!
