Comments:

For some reason the first km of the race, I didn't feel "comfortable". Once I got in to a groove, I felt more at eeze. Maybe it was just nerves being that it was my first multisport event.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing. I feel I ran a good pace for the 1st run.
Transition 1
  • 01m 10s
Comments:

Things went as well as they could have considering I'm using biking shoes instead of tri shoes.
What would you do differently?:

Get tri shoes in the future & learn how to "mount & clip" the bike instead of stopping & hoping on it.

Comments:

Considering how hilly it was, I did manage to plan my strategy as I was riding...when to spin downhills for momentum, when to just glide to save energy, etc.
What would you do differently?:

Drive the course before a new event to check things out.
Transition 2
  • 01m 26s
Comments:

Again, took a little bit of time once I dismounted the bike since my legs didn't want to run. Also took a breather & a swig of Gatorade.
What would you do differently?:

Pratice more brick transitions.

Comments:

I was starting to feel it after the first km of the 2nd run. I took in some gatorage at the transition and it didn't seem to sit right. By the 2km mark, I had some funny feelings in my gut, but that settled within a few minutes.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing. Ran with what I had left.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around, and to the "feed" area for a pita.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Nothing....this was my best effort & I'm extremely happy with my performance.
