 Swim
Comments: Buoys were placed too close to shore- people were running, dolphin diving. It was pretty frustrating.... :/  Transition 1
Comments: No T1 Times...there are always HFP timing issues. Oh and my chain was OFF my front cogs. Pretty sure I didn't leave it like that.  Bike
Comments: Dating a cyclist has really paid off. I was very pleased at my pace and how I road. Lost a bit of steam towards the end but I was happy with my performance. Transition 2
Comments: You gave your bike to a volunteer and they racked it, you went to get your bag. I forgot where my bag was and spent my T2 time searching for it. What would you do differently?: Rack my own bag so I knew where it was! Mr. Cyclist hopped out of the car to rack both of our bags and I drove around the block. D'oh!  Run
Comments: Still hate to run. I need to run more. Funny, I say that every race report. I will say that I left everything I had on the course- no sprinting the last 200M into the finish line this time. What would you do differently?: I was pretty annoyed at COTT and JustTri. I'm pretty sure that non-racers aren't suppose to pace racers during USAT events. It made me angry when I saw the same COTT member pacing people. Post race
Warm down: Walked it off, drank 2 bottles of water and a banana. Cheered Macintri on as she rounded the corner to the finish. Met up with Brue and said hello to other racers. Event comments: This was a mighty fine Point to Point race. I was very impressed with the volunteers, planning and organization. It only would of been better had I won the bike raffle.

Member  236  SWOH | Subject: RE: Giant Eagle Triathlon - Olympic Course Congrats on the awesome bike performance! There must have been a little naughty fairy running around the transition areas that weekend pulling chains off of cogs and laces out of shoes. I'm so jealous that you live close to Alum Creek. What a lovely, lovely place to practice your OWS. I'm trying to move to Columbus in the next few years -- if it happens, I'll be living on that beach! |

I think Mr. Cyclist would be slightly embarrassed if I wrote what I did to calm my nerves the night before.
I did paint my nails black and gold to match the Bumblebee!
Stretching at home, it was only a 10min drive to Alum Creek from my house.
