Swim
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?: good overall swim for me and am happy as I am seeing some improvement-- just need to keep working Transition 1
Comments: I took sometime to collect myself getting out of the water and into T1. my overall transition was smooth and went as planned What would you do differently?: run to and through T1 Bike
Comments: 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
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 ;) Run
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! Event comments: This was a tri for first timers but my AG was on fire and fast! Last updated: 2010-12-26 12:00 AM
