What would you do differently?:

Between mile 9 and 10 I would push harder. After mile 10 before the big hill is a downhill. The end of West Lake there is a stretch of about 1/2 mile with a strong headwind that needs to be pushed through b/c you will not lose much energy and it will really boost you going into the next part of the course (especially the hill).

need to remember where the heck my shoes were. Spent too much time looking where to put my bike.

Comments:

I thought I was doing so poorly I just went through the motions. I could have run a lot faster. The end of the run was much easier than the beginning.
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

Need to really work on the swim. Especially spotting and swimming in a straight line.

On the bike I can really fly. I did well comparitively with the best in my category without too much effort.

Running I need to incorporate more speed work.

Event comments:

Beautiful challenging course. It was my first race and it really inspired me. I love Montauk and this is a top notch race. The experienced triathletes felt the same way.

It was foggy and my first time in an ocean swim. I stunk but loved it! I wanted to quit twice. The faster swimmers flew by. I "tacked" back and forth like a sailboat.
