Comments:

Gassed in first tri, wanted to make sure I paced myself well in this one. Stayed to the outside to avoid the scrum. Happy with the line, and could have pushed harder. Need a swim coach, as I am not a super fast swimmer.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing.

  • 01m 43s
Comments:

T1 sucked. No other way to describe it. When the suit got stuck and sunglasses fogged(put them on WITH MY SWIM CAP AND GOGGLES STILL ON, I lost organization and focus.
What would you do differently?:

Rehearse after setting up my area. Need to put items behind bike, not in front. Gotta get some anti fog spray.
