I think I will look into some private coaching for this summer; I think that would help me a bit. I really just want to feel a little more "adequate" at it. I've also found it hard to get into the pool (times the pool here is open are rare, indeed, for just a lap swim). It's much easier to bike or run!

Biking is really my forte, running comes next for me, and swimming is way, WAY at the bottom. My goal for this race had been just to finish, not really race yet, and I did just that. Now I want to improve my time in all areas.

I hadn't thought about seeing how others in my division did on each event....what a great idea! I was just looking at total times. I think I'll go do that right now!

Thanks again! I really, REALLY love triathlons and can't wait to do another!
