wore watch w/ heart rate monitor around waste for swim, but forgot to turn on lap timer until i got out of the pool. also didn't have much time to adjust goggles and they were full of water for the first half of the swim.

ok, this was not my best transition. i am not using bik shoes yet so that wasn't a problem. i am getting good at running with my bike, so that was perfect, but jumping on the bike was not great and i basically fell over. i'll get to why Removing cap, goggles and wetsuit is rated 'bad'later...

i had a really good ride, but could have pushed much harder. i am still too tentative and making sure i don't blow up later. i should have gone faster, but i am concentrating on getting good at finishing long races right now, and not winning short ones.

i placed #1 in the entire race in t2! that is a little skewed because i am not using bike shoes yet, so all i had to do was jump off and run, but it was still cool.

i didn't plan on running this fast and i guess shows that i should have pushed harder on the bike. i didn't drink any water because i knew i could make it to the finish and felt great. the only problem i ran into was something banging on my collarbone a mileinto the run. 'what the f is that?!?!' oh yeah, it's my goggles! i definitely did the entire race with them around my neck under my shirt. pathetic, but pretty funny.

take off my goggles at t1!

just lots of water and pasta salad.


great race with excellent pasta salad afterwards.
