FIRST OPEN WATER SWIM IN A TRI. THE CURRENT ASSISTED US A LOT. FIRST TIME IN A WETSUIT, I LIKED IT. SWAM 1ST HALF OF IT FREESTYLE AND THE REST BACKSTROKE.

I NEED TO GET A COACH AND I NEED TO SWIM LONGER AND DEVELOP A FREESTYLE THAT SHOWS IMPROVMENT.

I wasn't on the clock, since I was on the team as a swimmer. However, I did the entire race and timed myself. Transition wasn't timed, I'm estimating and I took my time.

Have bike facing other way, have helmet ready.

Passed around 10-12, was passed by 5-7. The course was fun but challenging.

Keep pushing harder, no breaks. I'm getting there, I'm getting stronger. I would love to have a great bike- but the one I have is a blessing.

I put on the Vibram five fingers which took over 2 minutes! Everything else was good. I wasn't on the clock so I dogged it some.

I will buy those shoes I saw at the store- the Vibrams I love but I can't afford that time and frustration. I will keep running faster times in training and do more outside work and longer distances. I also think the sprinting on the football field has helpd- thanks Bruce Anderson.

Best I've ever run and the most fun I've had running. I really kicked that last mile and I did not walk at all, and that thought is starting to leave me- I'm not going to walk ever again (during a Sprint- I did my first one).

Not wear Vibram Five Finger- only because the time it takes to put them on.

Drank water and walked.


Me. I had a great race. My swimming is my weakness but I'm improving in all areas. I will increase my expectations, training, and performance. Everything is working the right way- I'm on my way and having fun doing it.


I love gettin a medal for participation. I was on a team and met some great people- thanks for having me! Progress is right on track, getting better each race!
