Comments:

This was a run in/ stand on shore start. I stood back some and when they started us a lane opened up and I went for it. I had to go hard to get out but it worked this time. Some bumping but nothing too extreme.

After rounding the first bouy my sighting got bad and I was drifting to the left and unable to draft.

After I rounded the 2nd bouy I headed home strong.

Time includes time to swim exit mat
What would you do differently?:

I pushed getting out of the park and tried to take a small drink. My stomach was not happy and I felt like I was going to barf. I backed off the drinking but still took my gel at mile 8
What would you do differently?:

need to keep working on the engine
Transition 2
  • 01m 9s
Comments:

Had a woman stop at the dismount line and I assumed she was going to do a flying dismount. When I jumeped off I had to push my bike and myslf around her and my bike/bike shoes banged around and scared everyone. I thought I had lost a shoe and stopped to double check.
What would you do differently?:

do not assume at dismount line and be clear of people ;)

Comments:

This was a solid run mentally! I have been struggling lately with my run and I pushed through the whole run...with a good sprint at the end (left too much) so I know I can push harder
What would you do differently?:

Push harder during the run and have confidence in my training
Post race
Warm down:

collected my thoughts--met my goal of breaking an hour
Jogged back to cheer on fellow athletes

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Since I have been having a hard time with the run....I did not push it. I know I can push harder in the run.

Training will improve the swim and bike too!

This was a tri for first timers but my AG was on fire and fast!
