Comments:

Considering i really learned how to swim a month ago i think i did pretty well not drowing
What would you do differently?:

get more relaxed in the water and practice more.
Transition 1

Comments:

I was extremely tired from the swim and my legs weren't under me... i was gasping for air during the whole transition.
What would you do differently?:

Get better at the swim
Bike
  • 50m 54s
  • 15 miles

Comments:

I'm pretty happy with the bike... I think if I had a road bike I'd be right up in the front... or at least able to make up for my swimming.
What would you do differently?:

have a better transition area layed out.
Transition 2
  • 01m 1s
Comments:

All i had to do was hop off bike and get running...
What would you do differently?:

run out of transition area instead of walk. the transition area was really long and narrow so it was a long ways to walk.
Run

  • 3.1 miles
  • 10m 12s  min/mile
Comments:

I had to stop and walk a couple times... I just wasn't in good enough mental or physical shape
What would you do differently?:

I would like to trip a hammer gel before the run
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

Poor swimming, poor bike and poor mental toughness in the run.

Event comments:

This was a really fun race that i'm looking forward to doing next year! Hopefully by then i'll be in better shape.
