A good swim - my first 1500M open water swim. Could have sighted a bit better - and I rounded the buoys a bit too close. Really felt like I was out there alone - very little contact with others. Felt very good! Water temp was key!

Time included a 1/4 mile walk/run to the transition area - I think I got out of the lake about 28:30 instead of the 30 minute time they have.
Transition 1
  • 02m 28s
Comments:

Probably need to consider using some lubricant (pam) on ankles - that was a time killer. Other than that, a good transition.

For me, a good bike leg. But need a lot more work.
Transition 2
  • 01m 39s
Comments:

Ran down the wrong aisle at first - cost some time. Transition from bike shoes to running shoues could have been a bit faster. Overall, OK.

Comments:

Just had nothing left - I ran the first 3.5 miles or so, but then run/walk after that. Probably lost a good 5-7 minutes walking. Legs just gave out.
