Comments:

Great swim - downstream with no major issues.
What would you do differently?:

I stayed a little TOO close to the buoys and thus was passed by many more serious/skilled swimmers.
Transition 1
  • 02m 36s
Comments:

Running with bike and with bike shoes on was tough.
What would you do differently?:

Probably need to practice running with my bike a bit more.

Great bike course - really enjoyed it.
What would you do differently?:

Not fall! Road bike (rather than hybrid) will help my next one.
Transition 2
  • 02m 52s
Comments:

Legs were heavy and tired - eek!
What would you do differently?:

Need to do some more brick training.
Run

  • 5 kms
  • 08m 57s  min/km
Comments:

Ran SLOWLY but did maintain a run the entire time, which was my goal. Carried water because I didn't realize the one water station would be accessible twice, both on the way in and out.
What would you do differently?:

Probably didn't need to carry water, although it was super hot and I appreciated having it. Felt great the whole run but need to improve my pace.
Post race
Warm down:

Should have stretched more! Felt a bit rushed in getting out of there since I took longer than the two others I was with, and should have taken more photos.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Need to speed up my run to continue improving, and get a better bike!

Event comments:

Overall this was a great race! Expo and pre-race athletes meeting was nice, swim was perfect, bike course was challenging but not impossible. Run could have been shadier but was flat.
