Comments:

Registered as first timer but got a green cap that went in the first wave. Race website showed first timers going last. I was surprized at the start.
What would you do differently?:

I would spend more time warming up swimming in order to get comfortable prior to the start.
Transition 1
  • 00m
What would you do differently?:

I would put bike shoes on at the bike and then clip in after getting on the bike. Or I need to practice getting on the bike with my shoes already clipped in.

What would you do differently?:

Ride harder after the turnaround. This was where I was the slowest getting only 14 mph, and I think I was slow due to thinking about the wind.

Had a good run, did not have to walk any. The first mile and the last were the toughest.
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

Swimming was my biggest limiter. I need to focus on this area and on spinning with the bike. Runnning is coming along the best for me, but I need to work more on speed.

Event comments:

This was a real good race for my first official Tri, and I had a lot of fun.
