 Swim
Comments: My goal was to try to do better with sighting. I did the best I ever have with this. I only got off a little bit between the last buoy and home. I think watching the elites get way off course when they went intimidated me a bit though. As we were treading water, I had this moment of feeling there is no way I can do this. There is no way I can swim in Florida. Then once I got started, I felt comfortable the whole way. My time is still slow, but I was happy with the swim and didn't feel the least tired at the end. What would you do differently?: There just is no way with my and my husband's schedules that I can swim more than 2 times a week. Sometimes that can't even happen. If I could do it more, I think I would be better.  Transition 1
Comments: I just couldn't get it together. Got wet suit stuck on my left heel. Couldn't get my helmet buckled.  Bike
Comments: I felt good on the bike. I tried to just keep a decent pace and not kill it. I felt so much stronger than last year at the end. The wind was strong at times and the cross winds knocked me around a bit. I had to stop once to go to the bathroom. Nutrition was 2 scoops of Perpetuem per hour and water. Nutrition was right on. What would you do differently?: If I weren't on the trainer so much, I think I could be faster. But, again, there is no way. I am lucky to get on the road once every 2 weeks. I felt great about this bike, even though I am still slow. I was so happy at how I felt strong at the end. Transition 2
Comments: No major issues, just was slow. What would you do differently?: I'm not sure?  Run
Comments: I still feel like a runner at heart. I just love to run. I didn't look at my watch one time, but ran completely on how I felt. I ran a pace I could keep up for the whole way. I felt great overall. Relaxes up the hills. Took 3 gels total with water and gatorade in between. Was just a touch nauseated at one point. I have spent less time this year doing hard runs and yet ran 5 minutes faster. I think this reflects being stronger off the bike. Overall, a great run. What would you do differently?: Nothing Post race
Warm down: Had to pick up my 3 year-old and hold him as he was crying for him mama and is under the weather. What limited your ability to perform faster: I only good at 1 of the 3 events. Unfortunately, I realize with my schedule that this will probably not change. I felt great after this race though, because I know I am ready for Florida! I can't wait!

Got up about 4:30. Had a PB and J. Got to the race site a little before 6. Was surprised at how many people were there already! Set up my site, got body marked and struggled into my wet suit.
None.
