 Swim
Comments: Swim went really well. I was right on pace. The only problem that I had on the swim was having to fight with the old man that was ahead of me. On the second length, I tapped him on the foot to pass. He would not let me get around him so I thought he was going to let me get around him at the wall. WRONG! I again tapped him and tried to get around him and as I did, he HIT me with every stroke. I felt he was doing this on purpose because I was giving him plenty of room. Finally at the wall he said "JUST GO!" I was ahead of him for the rest of the time except for the last lap where he came right up beside me and did the same thing- this time I decided to give him some of his own and gave him a nice strong elbow to his side. I mean-come on- leave this kind of stuff for the open water. We were in a pool for pete-sake, where was I supposed to go!! What would you do differently?: Other than having to beat up an old guy nothing.  Transition 1
Comments: This was a good trans for me. I did forget to pick up my GU, and I had left my sunglasses in the hotel. I decided to be a bit faster and not put my socks on, or the bike gloves. What would you do differently?: Not forget the GU and sunglasses.  Bike
Comments: Glad we rode the bike course the night before. But that was a bit diceving. It looked like the course was mostly down hil, and Josh had said that it was. I think that it was a nice grade up with a few downhills. We did have to contend with a bit of wind. What would you do differently?: Nothing I'm really proud of this ride. Transition 2
Comments: I had to take the time to put the socks on because I didn't want to chance a blister. I have never run without socks.  Run
Comments: Was faster than I thought. Had to walk for a few short periods. What would you do differently?: NOT WALK!!!!!! Post race
Warm down: Went back to where a few of our tri club members were to cheer for the rest of the club that were still out. What limited your ability to perform faster: The biggest problem that limited me for this race was not working out for almost 10 days prior to this race. I'm really mad at myself for being so lazy!!! NO MORE LONG TAPERS, JOSH!!!!!!:) Event comments: 3 Sports was a really fun race. I was glad that alot of our CAT tri club members participated at this race. We had a great showing.

Klynne and I drove to Richmond on Sat to pick up the race packet at 3 Sports. We met 2 of the CAT members at the YMCA to drive the bike course, then had dinner together. K and I went to the Short Pump mall.(what else were two ladies supposed to do all by themselves, with no kids):)
Got up at 5:15 and hit the free breakfast for english muffin w/peanut butter and coffee. The drove to the Y. Set up transition, which was a perfect spot. K and I had the last racks right beside the bike exit. Got chip and body marked. We had a long wait before our swim times and found the gang of CAT members, chatted and took some picks.
