 Swim
Comments: Fastest race time ever! Didn't even feel like I was really moving! Really! I am utterly stoked by this! Guess my love of swimming FINALLY paid off! I have never been punched, kicked or almost drowned like I did in this swim! I was right at the front which was obviously a mistake on my part. At one point two people were right on top of me pushing me under, God knows how much water I swallowed but it threw me off, made me panic and my breathing was erratic but I soon talked myself into a rhythm by singing to myself. It worked. What would you do differently?: Stay to back and then pass everyone when we all spread out.  Transition 1
Comments: Incredibly dizzy and frazzled. My ears are an issue with me right now and I felt so out of it. I need to work on this and I'm going to try my next swim with ear plugs for sure! What would you do differently?: Practice more water to T1's. Ear plugs.  Bike
Comments: Got out of T1 and hauled ass. Because I took so long to get out of T1 everyone else took off. I passed a crap load of peeps and only got passed a couple of times myself. When I did pass people it was on the hills so that has just made my weekend. Felt strong, very strong and could have pushed more but I worried about my legs and the run as that's my weakest event. On the way back we got pelted with HAIL! And fook if it ever stung! I sped up a bit then because I wanted to get the hell out of it and off the bike. One gal on a mountain bike decided that whenever I tried to pass her on the left she moved right. Like a road block. FFS! WTF!? Oh I was pissed. At the end I ended up going towards the right instead of the left because I couldn't get passed her. I had to bike between parked cars to get back to T2. The stupid cow. What would you do differently?: Shoot people in the back of the head with a BB gun. Transition 2
Comments: In and out, few Luna moons, guzzle of water.... on my way! What would you do differently?: Nuttin'.  Run
Comments: A little improvement. Not much. My hips are just so tight that it feels as if my legs are joined together from the knees up. I stopped too long at the water station chatting. silly me. If I hadn't my splits would have been negative. I ran 7:1 quite comfortably. Apart from the stiffness it worked well. I kept telling runners going towards the water station they were handing out Gin and Tonics. Always good to have a laugh, right? And instead of running across the finish line like any normal human being I decided to do a somersault instead, except I didn't make it all the way around and fell right back onto my arse again. Makes for excellent "FAIL FINISH" photo! What would you do differently?: YOGA! STRETCHING! Anything to loosen myself up. Post race
Warm down: Stretching but mostly eating and starbucks. What limited your ability to perform faster: Lack of mobility in the legs, stiff. Event comments: In my top 3 for sure. Making it a yearly event for sure. Aint that right Leslie? Last updated: 2009-06-01 12:00 AM

Since my race didn't start till 10:10am I offered to help at the Registration tent! 1st for me and to be honest, quite stressful! People saying "I filled out a waiver" WAH WAH. Really? But mostly peeps in good humour!
20 minute swim!
