Comments:

Not a swimmer. totally first Triathlon too. a bit of panic at the start.
What would you do differently?:

have more experience. control nerves at start. Was a very short distance so, when i finally calmed down it was over

  • 04m 50s
Comments:

Again the swim finish and the transition area were 300 yards or so apart. It was ok though. I could plan out my transition during the traveling. into shoes quickly. overall very good
What would you do differently?:

practice run starting with no shoes and putting shoes on while they are clipped on.

Comments:

Was burning it, Loved the bike portion was comfortable and strong. Finally my nerves calmed down and I was ready to make up for my slow swim. My chain came off of my bike TWICE. both times required dismount and placement. Never had it happen before today. Had to pass a group a total of three times.
What would you do differently?:

make sure bike is in better condition.
Transition 2
  • 02m
Comments:

my buddy who was also a first time racer managed to get a 1:15 time on this transition. that was because he didn't change shoes. I was pleased with this transition.
What would you do differently?:

Definetly a lot to learn about speedy transitions.

What would you do differently?:

run much harder....I was too comfortable
Post race
Warm down:

pictures, water, results, high-fives, is there anything else. They ran out of post race food which was a bummer.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

spent tooo much energy being nervous about forgetting something
