 Swim
Comments: I felt like I wasn't moving!! I know I was but it just felt like I wasn't going anywhere! I tried to concentrate on my stroke more but I think my nerves got the best of me and I found myself out of breath pretty quickly...might have been the cold air too. What would you do differently?: get more swim practice in  Transition 1
Comments: T1 didn't go so well. my fingers where so numb I had a hard time getting my swim shoes off and my socks/cleats on...also the string to my nose plug got stuck on my braid...that was definately frustrating!! What would you do differently?: maybe go back to a nose plug with out a string...although that is how I lost my last one at my last tri...as far as my fingers go I might have my husband hand of one of those hand warmers to me as I head into transition so by the time I get to my bike my fingers may have warmed up  Bike
Comments: The ride went really well. but I can't wait to get a road bike. my Gary Fisher is like a tank compared to the bikes I saw flying past me! What would you do differently?: GET A ROAD BIKE!! Transition 2
Comments: went smoothly...except my back tire didn't want to go back into the rack but it was only minor  Run
Comments: NO ONE WAS WALKING AT ALL!!! oh man was I out of my element! running is definately my weakest event. I cannot run without stopping and walking to catch my breath...I got passes by more people while on the run portion than I can even tell you!! This is where my race numbers went down severely! What would you do differently?: run more prior to the event! Starting tomorrow (I am too sore today) I am going to try to run every day! Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster: My body! The run was very hard for me! I really need to work on my run!! Event comments: I really liked this race. From a spectator stand point it was done really well, the swim, transitions, and finish were very close to each other. plently of place to park and a playscape for the kids. lots of vendors on race day (would have liked more on Saturday) Great event!

Master 1265 CT | Subject: RE: Women's Triathlon Congrats Jennifer! You did great! I was there too and it was COLD!! I seriously did NOT want to get into the water, but really the lake was like a bathtub! The run was tough even for the runners. Good job gettin' it done!  Edited by stumfossil 2007-09-17 6:49 PM |

Master 1265 CT | Subject: RE: Women's Triathlon oh… and as already suggested… don't run every day. you'll hurt yourself. Run 3 or 4 times a week nice and slow til you build up some strength and endurance. otherwise you'll end up injured! |

| Veteran 145 | Subject: RE: Women's Triathlon hey, good job. the run course was tough if you are not used to trails but you sound psyched and eager to improve. so guess what? you will. plus that road bike will seem sooooooooo fast. |

hydrate hydrate hydrate!
It was super cold the morning of the race!! I layered up(minus pants I was only wearing my bike shorts on the bottom) I arrived early and slowly took off layers as my body aclimated to the cold. I think that helped me as other were truly cold when we started the swim!
