Comments:

Had a bit of a panic attack. Couldn't breathe for most of the swim. Just got throught it as best as I could.
What would you do differently?:

Take more time before the start to get acclimated to the water.

Test helmet straps before race.

Bike felt pretty good. Pushed it pretty hard. Towards the end it started pouring.
Transition 2
  • 00m 44s
Comments:

Went pretty good. Forgot to hit lap on my watch for transition. Just noticed I had the fastest transitions in my age group, so at least I got first in something! :)

Post race
Warm down:

None, watched and waited for my husband and friends to finish.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Not preparing myself for the swim. Could have trained more.

Event comments:

Didn't like that there was zero prerace info or updates. My friends results didn't show up on the board and they had her age group wrong. The transition area was half underwater which made setting up difficult. The bathrooms were also flooded. The course was good but not sure I'd do this race again.
