Comments:

My first open water swim. it was scarey until i realized i could actually walk. the seaweed was un-nerving, and so was the many people who kicked and hit me with thier feet and elbows. once i go away from them it was easier. the seaweed still was creepy.
What would you do differently?:

i need to do more open swims (where i don't know) and get stronger at swimming

  • 03m 22s
Comments:

i couldn't run from the beach to the trans area, the concrete hurts my feel (the arches) so i walked as quickly as i could.
What would you do differently?:

need to practice transitions, i really didn't think it would be so hard, and it wasn't i just need to have it more orderly. and make sure my socks are not turned inside out.

Comments:

I got on the bike and almost fell over casue another racer was yelling at me to go go go! I wasn't in his way so i don't know why he was yelling unless he was having problems with his bike and wanted me out of the way. but the ride was nice, very scenic and about a mile into the ride a deer ran out in front of me, little scarey looking for more deer. but it was beautiful
What would you do differently?:

I need to learn to drink on the bike, almost keeled over twice trying to drink. need to go faster.

Congratulations!!  We have a TRIATHLETE in the house!!! 

Always good to get that first one out of the way, then you can work on your weaknesses... the seaweed sounded gross, I've never had that...

I was there too! Swim somewhere in open water with really nasty seaweed. That stuff at PI was a piece of cake! That was my strategy anyway! Great job! Did my first last Oct. That was my 4th! the run totally sucked! Amazing how .4 miles can seem so much longer!
