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.

What would you do differently?:

nothing, very easy first time transition. Couldn't do anything about the long sandy run to transition

  • 17.04 mile/hr
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.

  • 00m
Run

  • 3.11 miles
  • 12m 38s  min/mile
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!
