Race Notes: I PRed even though I was pushing a double stroller with two kids in it!!! I felt great!

Race Notes: The swim had a strong tow and ended up being longer than I originally expected. The bike was a long and relatively flat 10 miles, then rolling hills then four steep hills. The run had a HUGE hill in the middle of it and they ran out of water at the top of the hill. I had my own water so it wasn't an issue for me. This was a very diffuclt course for me but one I want to try again!

Race Notes: This wasn't my best swim nor bike but it was my best run. I didn't push myself at all in the swim. I actually got into the water 30 minutes before my wave and that was too much because I was shivering when my wave started. I was a full minute slower on my swim over last year.
I had not been on a bike since my last triathlon at Camp Pendleton because of carpal tunnel in both hands and wrists so I was expecting a slow ride though I was only one minute slower on my bi8ke over last year as well.
But because I hardly had anything to drink on the bike, only took a few sips on the run, the weather was very comfortable, I had the best run. I beat last year's run by 4 minutes!!! Beat my overall time from last year by two minutes so I'm very happy with my race!

Race Notes: The swim was open ocean with some pounding surf but the run from the water to transition took me two minutes to do because it was soft deep sand. The bike was one of the best bike segments I've ever done on a triathlon. I really liked it and I did pretty well. The beginning of the bike and run went up a long uphill grade but after that the run was flat. It was hot for the run though. Good support in place with water and sports drinks. All in all I loved this race!!!

Race Notes: I didn't like the fact that I was in the last wave because it meant I would be running in the heat. I got tossed coming out of the swim and ran halfway up the ramp. The bike was ok but the run was miserable because it was so hot. I had the fastest 5K run I had ever done though.

Race Notes: I pulled back halfway through the swim because I didn't want to push my shoulders due to rotator cuff impingement. Ended up that I shouldn't have pulled back at all but pushed harder because I was NOT happy with my swim time. I like my bike but came off of it with a bad right calf cramp. Took over half a mile to get rid of it. Drank CarboPro during that time and ended up with a stomach cramp. In the second loop of the run I had blisters on both feet. Instep of my right foot and heel of my left. Still ended up doing my fastest 5K!
