 Swim
Comments: Decent swim, i could feel my right arm doing more work than the left arm. I also got off course the first 300M and had to get back on track. My right goggle wouldn't stop filling with water and at one point i put my feet down so i could re-group. What would you do differently?: not skip my long swims during training- i could feel my endurance suffer during last 300 yards.  Transition 1
Comments: Good for never practicing this before. What would you do differently?: practice.  Bike
Comments: I got in aero a few times, but wasn't very comfortable with the position since I lacked very much practice riding in aero. What would you do differently?: practice more: aero, riding w/o socks, hills. Transition 2
Comments: 2nd in my A/G for this. Felt good about T2 since i had never practiced it before. What would you do differently?: nothing?  Run
Comments: WOW! this was a TERRIBLE run. My legs were like jell-o and i couldn't shake shin splints the first 1.5 miles. I did a run/walk combo the first mile- it sucked. I know I can run faster and am not very happy with this aspect of the race. I had to pee REALLY bad about half way into the bike and this impacted my low run performance. What would you do differently?: Stop and stretch- don't try to run through shin splints again. Practice brick bike/run. This portion of the race really hurt my time. Post race
Warm down: Talking & standing around. What limited your ability to perform faster: My lack of training about 3 weeks before the race. I could feel a lack of endurance and my muscles kept cramping throghout the race. I should have warmed up rather than freaking out and letting my nerves get the best of me. Event comments: I can't wait for next year, i plan to kick this things butt! Profile Album Last updated: 2009-05-19 12:00 AM

Woke up at 4am and didn't really go back to sleep. Got to the lake at about 5:40am.
Mostly just talking and trying to ignore my nerves. I was SO glad lisa, megan, and others were there to keep me distracted and give some encouragement!
*should have warmed up and stretched- totally regret not doing this!
