Swim
  • 16m 21s
  • 500 meters
  • 03m 16s / 100 meters
Comments:

Water was more choppy than expected. I wasn't able to establish a comfortable breathing pattern and went into a comfort zone.
What would you do differently?:

-Try more at the breast stroke in order to get breathing pattern established.
-Practice for a few mintutes before the race.
Transition 1
  • 02m 56s
Comments:

Felt like this was done efficiently. I didn't use socks, so slipping the bike shoes on was fairly easy. Everything was layed out properly to grab quickly.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing
Bike
  • 36m 1s
  • 11.5 miles
  • 19.16 mile/hr
Comments:

I may have been overhydrated on the bike.
What would you do differently?:

Not drink as much.
Transition 2
  • 02m 23s
Comments:

I was slightly winded coming into this transition.
What would you do differently?:

Try and breathe better through this.
Run
  • 26m 14s
  • 3.11 miles
  • 08m 26s  min/mile
Comments:

I cramped most of the run. It may have been from drinking too much water on the bike and a combo of being excited and running quickily out of T2.
What would you do differently?:

Slow it down a bit coming out of T2 and save it for the last leg of race.
Post race
Warm down:

NONE

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Stomach cramping towards the end of my bike and througout my run.

Event comments:

I had a fun time for this being my first tri.
