Pre-race routine:

Event warmup:

I swam a bit in the lake before the start.

Comments:

The swim went pretty well, I passed a lot of people even guys who started before me! the water was calm and not too cold.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing, it went well. I will keep on training so I can get out of the water even faster!
Transition 1
  • 00m
Comments:

I was a little slow on transition because it was pouring rain and I was trying to get my socks ans shoes on. I was also a little light headed after the swim.
What would you do differently?:

Continue to practice getting out of my wetsuit and putting my shoes on faster.

It was raining hard... It went very well considering the weather! The hills slowed me down but I was ready for it!
What would you do differently?:

Train more, more, more! I need to cut some time on the bike!
Transition 2
  • 00m
Comments:

I had to change my socks in T2 because my feet were so wet! It was still pouring rain and I didn't want to run 8k with wet feet. I also put a shirt on to keep me warmer during the run.
What would you do differently?:

Prepare a second pair of socks with my running shoes... my second pair was in my sport bag and I had trouble to find them... it wasn't raining before the start of the race... a good thing I put a plastic over my things!

Comments:

My legs didn't want to go up hills anymore!! The run was hard and still in the rain!

Event comments:

Great race! I'm happy with what I accomplished! I knew I was probably going to finish in the last but I don't mind at all! It was my second triathlon, it was a big one, the weather was terrible and I did it! Next year, I'll be back!!
