  • 1640 yards
  • 01m 40s / 100 yards
Comments:

13 minutes faster than my fastest pool swim for the distance.
What would you do differently?:

Train more (only swam full distance twice - both in pool - and 2 short OW swims)
Transition 1
  • 00m
Bike
  • 1h 34m 42s
  • 24.85 miles
  • 15.74 mile/hr
Comments:

I seem to be stuck at the 26km/hr speed... I'd like to see how fast I could go with a good bike.
What would you do differently?:

I would not try to eat a Cliff bar on the bike - stick with gels/liquids.
Transition 2
  • 00m
Comments:

Bike would not stay on rack - lost a few seconds. Also, forgot to take off sunglasses and had to put them in tri shirt. Otherwise, good transition. Biked in running shoes, so no shoe change.
Run
  • 57m 34s
  • 6.21 miles
  • 09m 16s  min/mile
Comments:

1 of 2 water stations ran out of cups, so middle 5km was with no fluids.
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

I didn't train enough. Being my first Olympic Triathlon, I didn't know where I could push, so I stayed at a fairly comfortable pace throughout.

Event comments:

The race seemed well organized, except for the poor estimate of supplies needed at the water stations. I left immediately after the race, so I cannot comment on post-race activities. I went into the day with a goal of 3 hours, and came in with 35 seconds to spare. I think I can go under 2:40 next year.
