Drove down that morning. Got up at 4:05. Long drive 1 1/2 hour. Got there registered and set up transition.

Stretch, Prayer, and light jog

People were stopping and clogging up the lines. Many people crowed. I got kicked more than if it had been a shot gun start. The water was very merky and sea weed.

Start with the swimmers that do not need to stop. Get a better draft.

Could not get my heart rate monitor belt on. This was s slower tranistion than I needed.

Good bike. Had some trouble getting in the pedal at the start. Could have maybe pushed harder.

I went to the wrong rack and then had to go back down an aisle.

The racks were crowed and this lead to not finding area easy. I would have used side walk chalk to mark my spots.

Need to run, run, run. I used the run walk method but I believe that this is mental because I feel that I could push harder.

Spend an extra two hours a week training for the run. Faster than last year.

Walked about a .25 of a mile. Stretched and drank two bottled waters

My mental focus and I nned to push till it hurts.

I meet one of my short-term goals by beating last years record by 14+ minutes.
