Comments:

Overall I had the best swim ever. Came out of the water second in my age group with one guy on my heels. By the first buoy I wa in clean water and never saw a person until I caught up to the wave in front of me.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing, best swim I have ever had
Transition 1
  • 02m 5s
Comments:

Long run up a muddy beach and into transition. Then, a REAL long run, with your bike from the transition to the bike mount, probably a quarter mile easy!
What would you do differently?:

Was not as smooth as I should have been getting out of the wetsuit.

Comments:

Overall a pretty good ride. So many turns and so many people I forgot to drink. Finished the race with almost a full water bottle. Pretty average ride for me.
What would you do differently?:

I need to ride more. my run focus has been showing in my cycling.
Transition 2
  • 02m
Comments:

This was a good transition. Because I did not get a chance to scope the bike re-entry before the race I got out of my shoes about 1/4 mile too early. This almost caused a disaster, but I diverted it. Came off the bike running, which is the first time I have done that.
Run
  • 24m
  • 3.11 miles
  • 07m 43s  min/mile
Comments:

Was running about 7:40-7:45 miles. Could have pushed a little harder but I think my lack of drinking was wearing on me. Nobody in my age group passed me. Started the run in second and finished the run in second.

Event comments:

Overall she did most things great. Awesome course, awesome post race party, started on time, transition had bike positions pre-selected. However, no timing by event SUCKS!! I am really disappointed by that, has to change. I consider that unacceptable!!
