![]() Swim
Comments: First time- Not as difficult as expected, just took it easy and got through it. What would you do differently?: Before next race, plan to train swimming much more. ![]() Transition 1
What would you do differently?: nothing, very easy first time transition. Couldn't do anything about the long sandy run to transition ![]() Bike
What would you do differently?: although i passed several people in my exit group, I ended up pacing a guy for at least half. I was too nice, should have blasted him in the last 3 miles to gain time. ![]() Transition 2
![]() Run
Comments: This just plain ruined my overall rank and time. I ran some , walked some. In retrospect, I knew going into this that I had only trained 2 months and that I would be lucky to even finish the race. What would you do differently?: Just need more training time and then I will be able to finish stronger. ![]() Post race
Warm down: Bud Light with lime, swim in the pool What limited your ability to perform faster: only 2 months training Event comments: This was my very first ever race or athletic competition of any kind. (other than regattas, which are completely different athletically). I am so excited to use this as a Benchmark for future races and can't wait to do the Heartland again with Steve next year!
