I felt really good about my swim. I did better than I thought I would especially since I didn't do flip turns under the ropes. I haven't quite figured that one out yet. That's for next year along with navigating in open water. Only 1 guy passed me. I think doing the video with Greg really helped two weeks ago. I felt like I was moving.

Learn to snake swim more effectively.

This was the fastest transition I've had to date. I am excited. Didn't wear socks today and I think I never will again. (Maybe on long course)

I would have liked to have pushed it a little harder, but I didn't know how fast I was going and didn't want to blow everything for the run.

I was the 4th fastest female on the bike overall.

I think putting my aerobottle on my bike is affecting my computer I need to get it figured out b/c its a little annoying. Luckily I knew where the 7 mile mark was from having drove the cours, but it would have been nice to know avg speed.

Can you believe it. Less than a minute and I got a drink of water!!
No socks and speed ties really shave off the seconds.

Nothing.

I lost 1st on the run. It felt really good though. Its just something I need to work on. I kept my cadence high and just floated along the course. Its funny because the run used to be my strongest leg, and now its my weakness. I ran crosscountry in highschool for the love of god. I guess all that rowing in college made me better suited for the bike.

Spend time in the offseason on my run.

Ate pasta. Sat in the shade. Talked.


I really enjoyed myself at this race and was very appreciative of the post race food. The volunteers were awesome and I thought the run was spectator friendly. It was nice having little kids wave and cheer for you. Plenty of post race shade an picnic tables to lounge on.
