TriZou (formerly Merrill Lynch Race For Sight) - TriathlonSprint

I had problems with coming out of flip turns the wrong direction and feel I lost a lot of time trying to realign my body. I took it a little too slow, reserving energy for the bike. I could've/should've picked it up a bit. The chip timers started and ended out of water, so again I feel I lost time there, not knowing.

I would have practiced in the pool before hand and probably done no flip turns. I would have picked up my pace a bit--I had trained harder than this and could have done it!

Such a slow transition!! I felt like I was in slow motion, and wasn't sure if I had everything I needed!! (I had one minute to set up my transition area--a major problem in my preparedness for the race!!)

I would have had helmet ready/open on bike with gloves and sunglasses... and I just needed to MOVE!

I felt good with my bike--the hills were hard work, but nothing I hadn't prepared for. My glutes and hamstrings were tired. I was frustrated a few times by other cyclists cutting me off/hogging the turn so I had to put my brakes on (twice!!)

Be more confident

This transistion was definitely smoother. I felt pretty good about it.

Felt great once I got over the jello legs (for the 1st mile)... thought I was doing better than the time actually reflected (I guess I had a watch mal-function).

I could have given it more at the end!!

I had a blast!! Can't wait to do it again!!
