I ate a croissant and had a bottle of Gatorade

  • 17m 25s
  • 800 meters
  • 02m 11s / 100 meters
Comments:

My right goggle leaked for some reason. It was the first time this happened to me. That slowed me down a little because I stopped to drain it twice. I also started my heart monitor late (4 minutes into the swim.) I also think that the fact that I have only been swimming for a month affected my time.
Transition 1
  • 02m 32s
What would you do differently?:

I should have put on my helmet as I was taking my wetsuit off.
Bike
  • 50m 35s
  • 10 miles
  • 11.86 mile/hr
What would you do differently?:

I would bring a lighter bike to this course. And maybe a compact crankset.
Transition 2
  • 01m 41s
Comments:

I screwed this one up. For some reason I tried to rack my back with my handlebars towards the rack. This did not work for me and it took me a moment to realize that I needed to turn the bike around! I think I wasted 20 seconds doing that.
Run
  • 29m 50s
  • 3.11 miles
  • 09m 35s  min/mile
Comments:

The uphill was killer. However, the downhill was like heaven. I let gravity take me down. I also sprinted the last part of it.
