Swim
Comments: Have never done a pool swim for a tri before. Was matched up with ladies who were perfect for me. No one passed anyone in the lane the enitre time. Never got my groove at all throughout the whole swim. Too much thinking going on in that melon of mine. Wanted to do my best today, but never quite got there. The strangest thing is that there was no chip timing, so I don't know where my transitions were added on. What would you do differently?: Swim more before. Hadn't swam in 3 weeks...not a good plan. Did one short swim on Friday. Transition 1
Comments: No clue. What would you do differently?: Be faster...as always. I dried myself off as much as I could. Bike
Comments: Met an extremely kind person who deserves huge kudos for helping a mess! Transition 2
Comments: Again no chip time, so no clue. Run
Comments: This was the most hilarious run I have ever done. Again, don't know where they stuck the transitions, but wow, was I slow!!!! Hopefully, they lumped it in here. I saw no other racers except for 2 walkers at the beginning. It was very strange running alone without any other participants around. Saw the volunteers..they were not very chatty. One of them was sleeping with her arm pointing in the correct direction :-). At the end, my husband and kids were there to cheer me on as well as a friend's husband and their two children. My 2 ran in with me. Got hugs from everyone and Debbie waited for me as well and gave a big hug at the end. What a kind soul. What would you do differently?: Run faster for pete sakes!!!! Post race
Warm down: Had a bagel, banana and cookie. Walked around with Leslie and cheered another friend of mine, Kathi on. She rocked!!! Met a few other BT'ers, schmize,jabraunski and hollyslu. Wonderful to meet all of you! What limited your ability to perform faster: The d#*m cancer...just diagnosed and a lot of emoitons going thru my mind. Glad I did it, but I am wiped!!!

Haven't been sleeping this past week. Went to bed at midnight the night before and got about 4 hours. Ate a bagel with peanut butter, a banana and apple. Checked the bag about 3 times to make sure it was all in there.
None, just waled around and felt like I was going to hurl. Was excited to hammer this race, but did not realize it would be such an emotional one.
