This was my first swim outside of a pool so I was fairly happy with the results. This is my usual time in a pool.

Swim is by far my toughest challenge mentally. I had many negative thoughts throughout the swim. Just had to fight through it.

Practice more. From what I've been told my stroke looks good but I need to practice my "pull" under the water. It is a little weak.

This time is wrong. I was in T1 for at least 5 minutes. Being my first tri i was taking my time. It went pretty smooth.

next tri i will be faster since I know what to expect.

Again, being my first tri I was taking it pretty easy. I could've pushed harder on the downhills and straight aways.

Finishing was my goal

Push harder, now that I know what to expect I can definatley decrease my bike times

I was really chillin in T2. I even posed for a picture and went to the bathroom. :)

Finishing the race was my goal

Move faster in transition, don't pose for pictures and hopefully I won't have to go to the bathroom.

This is the only part I was a little disapointed in. It was very hot and i walked a little more than I should have.

Train better for the run. i will be under 10 minute miles for my next race

Cold wet towel on my head, drank some water and walked around.


Lack of training. I only trained for 3 months and was very out of shape when i started training.

Now that I have an idea of what to expect and a better idea of how to train I see significant room for improvement


I am looking forward to my next race. I hope to break the 3 hour mark by the end of the year and to do the half ironman next year for this event.
