Swim
  • 07m 40s
  • 440 yards
  • 01m 44s / 100 yards
What would you do differently?:

There was a 300 meter run from the water to the Transition Area, I would definitely run it this time because I exited the water almost a minute before I hit the pad which recoreded my split
Transition 1
  • 02m 35s
Comments:

This was my first triathlon, and I tried to put on a shirt that I had already pinned my number onto, and it got stuck on my wet skin, this took alot of time.
What would you do differently?:

Not sure, I definitely need to either wear a triathlon top that I can swim in, or buy a race belt to put my number on.
Bike
  • 41m 6s
  • 12 miles
  • 17.52 mile/hr
Comments:

I had never raced on a bike before and I was using a 1970s SS schwinn with cage pedals, not that I am more into the sport I will be upgrading my bike, and hopefully training more.
Transition 2
  • 00m 40s
Comments:

Because I did not have biking shoes, I was biking in my running shoes which made this transition extremely easy.
What would you do differently?:

I think that biking more should be one of my top priorities, I will be purchasing a bike for the upcoming season, so hopefully riding a bike that fits, and can shift gears easily will make a difference.
Run
  • 23m 13s
  • 3.1 miles
  • 07m 29s  min/mile
Comments:

I definitely could have ran harder, I went out wanting to run a little conservative so I did 8 minute miles to the second for the first 2 miles and then just finished.
What would you do differently?:

I would have taken it out at a faster pace, and I think that running more should definitely be more of a priority for my base this year.
Post race
Warm down:

1 mile jog with some light stretching

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I was overall nervous because this was my first Triathlon, I think that everything I did I paced myself to be conservative.

Event comments:

I rated this race a 3 becasue I have nothing to compare it to, but I will be doing it again this year.
