Swim
Comments: Very crowded...lots of legs/arms flying around. Weak swimmers were given noodles and there were women swimming 3 across using noodles...making it almost impossible to pass them. What would you do differently?: I would train more for the swim. I had to switch my stroke from front crawl to sidestroke to breaststroke.... Transition 1
Comments: This was my first triathlon. I probably could have taken at least a minute off by running with the bike and running the whole way from the beach to my bike. It was a bit of a haul. I had a pair of cheapo flipflops ready for me which did make it less painful on the rocky surface. What would you do differently?: Run the whole way...in general pick up the pace.... Bike
Comments: Be prepared for this bike course by training on hills beforehand! It was very pretty and it was nice to see the locals in their yards cheering everyone on! What would you do differently?: Clipless pedals and shoes...for sure!! Transition 2
Comments: A bit better on this transition... What would you do differently?: Run with the bike... Run
Comments: A little tougher than I thought it was going to be, but I'm not the greatest of runners. Lots of support by bystanders as well as fellow triathletes! What would you do differently?: Work on my endurance more.... Post race
Warm down: Just walked around and hydrated....and enjoyed my accomplishment! Event comments: Great beginner triathlon! Tons of support...women cheering each other on throughout! I highly recommend! Last updated: 2009-07-29 12:00 AM
