Swim
Comments: Good swim. I was running out of steam because I haven't swam in months. I did try freestyle a little more than I probably should have. What would you do differently?: Work on kick turns. Swim more often. Transition 1
Comments: Overall, a great T1. I wanted to break 1m and I did that. I had a little issue getting my feet into my shoes and I also pulled one strap completely through the loop. What would you do differently?: Strap my shoe bands onto the bike more securely. Although they did the job, I felt like they were the culprits in getting my feet into the shoes, aside from pulling one strap through. Otherwise, outstanding! PR Bike
Comments: Need to push harder on some longer rides. Overall, I felt the bike went well. I missed the final dismount because it was immediately following a right hand turn. I should have been paying more attention. Cost me about 10s to turn around and get over there. Dismount came up much faster than I anticipated. What would you do differently?: Study the map more to see the dismount. I didn't look at it on race day which is something I usually do. Transition 2
Comments: I should have broken a minute in T2. I am not sure what I did wrong. I think it was perhaps when I racked the bike. I had a little issue getting the cockpit over the bar and holding my helmet at the same time...... What would you do differently?: Do the same. I don't know that I could have improved anything. It just didn't click on time. Overall great job! PR. Run
Comments: Poor run @ 11.5m/mi. Definitely need to concentrate on running more. Incorporate speed training, fartleks, and hills into my training. What would you do differently?: I don't feel that I burnt my legs on the bike. I feel that I need to concentrate more on running. Need to adjust my IM training to support more running to build stamina following a hard bike. Post race
Warm down: Walked it out for a while. Did some lite stretching. Drank water and Gatorade and ate two Chick filete wraps. What limited your ability to perform faster: Lack of training. Event comments: Will race again next year. Good beginner race and also training race. Last updated: 2014-06-10 12:00 AM
