Swim
Comments: Changed from wave 3 to wave 6 with the rest of the 1st timers. Was a rough swim for me. Swallowed sea water twice, caught unfriendly waves and found myself side stroking a good deal of it. Goal was purely to get from point A to B. Not bad considering it was only my second time in the sound to swim. Still was ahead of some so I gained a bit of confidence. What would you do differently?: More ows in salt water. Transition 1
Comments: Slow! What would you do differently?: Transition was tough. Was afraid I was going to be fatigued and really I wasn't so I took a bit more time then I needed. Next time I will forget the socks and take drink when I get on bike. Bike
Comments: This was my ride. Strong from the start on a small hill. Passed riders right away. Tried to follow the no drafting rules and got a little peeved when some other riders seemed to not abide the same. Took advantage on the hills where I felt the strongest. Passed no less then 50 and was never passed. The center of Main St. proved to be a little tricky with the traffic. May have lost a minute or two trying to be patient on the passing. What would you do differently?: Practice corners and passing more efficiently. Transition 2
Comments: Was a bit fired up and may have wasted some time talking to coach while putting on my sneakers etc. I did stay in motion though. What would you do differently?: No chit chat. Practice getting shoes on. Run
Comments: Had a good time with this. Was feeling strong, talking to folks on the run. Encouraging some who were walking to get moving. It was my best pace ever and I think if I was more focused I would have done even better. 8:03 min/mile I was just having a good time at this point. What would you do differently?: Pushed a little harder. Peed before the swim. Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster: Swim was tough for me. Event comments: Best day ever!! First Triathlon success! Was so happy about the bike and run. Last updated: 2010-07-23 12:00 AM
