What limited your ability to perform faster:

lack of training

Event comments:

I went into this race severely undertrained, I was not motivated to carve out time to continue to train after Boulder 70.3. I've kept up the running, but only logged 25 miles on my bike the month of July. So, was just trying to see how little I could do and still have a good out come. Turns out you really do need to train if you want to do well! Ha!

Five years later, I'm still fighting it. Plantar fasciitis. It's back again in both feet. Running is out. I have been swimming and cycling only the last five years. How do I deal with this?
 
My First Tri Experience - What was I thinking?

I have always been an athlete, growing up playing team sports like basketball and soccer. I also ran in a couple of 10K races every year, so I had no reason to worry about running a 5K...right?

I couldn’t help but feel that the race had beaten me. Perhaps duathlons were more for me? No, I was more determined than ever to succeed. I was determined to get on top of my swimming.

This life of mine is not so different from yours. It has a multitude of similarities. I suffer from uncertainty, I get nervous at the thought of registering and when getting to the starting line.
 
Sports Bra and Swimsuit Question

I am not going to buy a tri-suit before my first tri - I want to make sure I am going to stick with this before I spend a lot of money on it so I want to figure out what will work best.
