Comments:

Need. To. Swim. Better. I spent a lot of time pausing for breath. I think I could improve 3-4 minutes if I could touch-and-go off the wall.
Transition 1
  • 03m 5s
Comments:

I didn't move very quickly from the pool to the bike. My shirt went on easily, but I tore my race bib losing extra time as I pinned it back on.
What would you do differently?:

Get (or make) a race belt. Socks??
Bike
  • 39m 4s
  • 12.1 miles
  • 18.58 mile/hr
Comments:

I felt that I held back a bit, saving some for the run. Not a bad bike. Passed a lot of people.
What would you do differently?:

If I increase my average speed to 18.9 MPH, I can reclaim 1 minute in 12 miles.
Transition 2
  • 01m 56s
Comments:

No complaints. Could go a bit faster to from bike to run start.
What would you do differently?:

Run
  • 29m 16s
  • 3.2 miles
  • 09m 09s  min/mile
Comments:

Came in slightly under my expected time on the run, but I now feel that I could have pushed harder
What would you do differently?:

Use the first mile to adapt to the run and get the heart rate right.
Second mile step up to a faster pace.
Third mile maintain or increase pace slightly.
Last .2 - PUSH IT!
My pace was 9.27 (6.47 MPH). An increase to 8.96 (6.7 MPH) - which I have seen during trainig - would capture another minute.
Post race
Event comments:

Overall I want to achieve a sub 80 minute tri. I am convinced I can recapture 1 minute from the bike, 1 minute from the run, and 1 minute from transitions (total). If I can then get 3-4 minutes from the swim - I'm there.
