Early morning start… Transition opened at 5:30 and I couldn’t wait to get in!

Setting up my transition area… I had a pretty good spot, but more importantly I had the BEST gear. I stand by my Argon 18, ENVE Composite wheels, Cobb Cycling saddle, and ROTOR Q Rings.

One last bottle of Infinit before the gun went off. (I like how my race number makes my 5Q tattoo look like 55(!) women to Kona.)

On the beach admiring my Blueseventy PZ4TX speed suit.

One last warm up swim complete… Headed to the start line. (I came out of the water in 2nd!)

Getting flagged into T2 in first place in my Catlike helmet aboard my Argon 18 and ENVE Composite wheels. (I had the fastest bike split of the day!)

Starting the 13.1 mile run near the Jamestown Settlement in Williamsburg. (I carry a flask of Napalm by Infinit Nutrition during the run. It helped me to score the fastest run split of the day!)

This is me, excited to be done, but without a lot of energy. (First female and 8th overall)

I was a little tired…

Rocking my Sugoi Maverick jersey on the podium!
