 Run
 Transition 1
Comments: No T1, since it started with swim...DUHHH  Swim
Comments: Definitely the swim of my life! Never dreamed I could do 1000 meters that fast! What would you do differently?: Might take it a wee bit slower since my run suffered. Transition 2
Comments: Had socks in case I wanted them, but there was another woman right next to me who came out of transition right ahead of me so I didn't want to take the time to put them on. Went without and no problems. What would you do differently?: Nothing. Very happy. Run
Comments: My lungs were ready to burst. I think I did too much on the swim. My legs felt like they were doing nothing and taking an easy run, but I was panting like a dog in 100 deg. weather! Slower 2nd mile helped out a bit, but my legs never really felt like they were working their hardest. What would you do differently?: Maybe be a little slower on the swim so I could breathe easier on the run. Post race
Warm down: 5-minute jog around the parking lot with Birgid (just met her...cooldown runs are a great way to meet new people). What limited your ability to perform faster: Couldn't breathe on the run Event comments: I was very happy overall. NEVER thought I could go that fast in a swim! I'm definitely going to e-mail the race director to make sure the swim was an accurate measurement. If it is, that'll REALLY give me confidence for worlds next month.

Champion  8766      Evergreen, Colorado | Subject: RE: Bicycle & fitness Aquathlon Great job, Sharon! Sometimes you just have to experiment with pushing the swim to see how hard you can push it before the rest of your race suffers! I did a swim/run event last week and I thought the run was hard right after the swim. It's almost like the bike warms your body up normally...weird, isn't it? Can't wait to see the official results! |

Did the caffeine and Snickers Marathon Bar thing on the way down to Miami. 45 miles each way and huge thunderstorms when I left my house...not sure it was even worth it to go.
Barely a light drizzle in Miami...glad I went anyway. Did some jogging with a few sprint intervals, then set up transition and swam almost to the last buoy and back to help sighting on the last bit.
