Swim
Comments: i enjoyed the swim after i got out of a pack of swimmers felt like i had no were to go. and there was alot of elbows and legs hitting into me, which i expected but i wasn't as prepared as i should of been What would you do differently?: i would probably go alittle harder with my swim in the beginning, because once i got going it felt great. i felt intimated by all the people around me when i first got out there, but next i won't Transition 1
Comments: for my 1st transition i never practiced so i was going by what i was told and did the best i can do, had a hard time getting my wetsuit off. but i realized if i just step on it to get it off, well it works What would you do differently?: need more practice with my transition Bike
Comments: i loved the bike part of this race, i felt great, lost my water bottle during my ride,but i still had my other one What would you do differently?: i would practice on getting on my bike after my swim...as i was getting on my bike i kept on slipping on my pedal, i couldn't get in clipped in Transition 2
Comments: this transition was okay, legs were kind of wobbely What would you do differently?: i was okay with this transition Run
Comments: the run for me was tough, felt very hot and thirsty, alittle fatigued, at a few of the water stations they had no cups or no water. even though i wanted under a 10 minute mile it felt like i was fighting through this part of the race. not enjoyable at all What would you do differently?: i would incorporate more brick workouts Post race
Warm down: just drank water and ate a pretzel What limited your ability to perform faster: what limited me to perform faster i would say that i didn't know what to expect or just made some little mistakes along the way Event comments: i know there will be other races for me and they will be much more organized, and i didn't like the fact that there was no chip time. but for being my first triathlon i will take this as an experience and remember and work off of it to get better... on a positive note, when i crossed the finish line as a TRIATHLETE...i kind of took a few seconds off to the side and just thought about what i did and what i accomplished. and my twin was there and my friends which ment so much to me. also found out that i placed 3rd in my age goup!!! and i had my BT tatoos on, and as for my all my workouts with my workout partner...THANK YOU!!
