Comments:

Managed to swim without losing breathing. Took pace very easy to start. Very tired at end.
What would you do differently?:

Need to increase training intensity. Plenty of room for improvement.
Transition 1
  • 01m 21s
Comments:

Took too long putting on helmet.
What would you do differently?:

Change helmet strap. Practice with shoes already on pedals? Bring a bucket to sit on?
Bike

  • 11.4 miles
  • 16.60 mile/hr
Comments:

Took it too easy? Unsure how to pace. Problems with gearing.
What would you do differently?:

Fit computer to bike to monitor cadence. Check out gears.
Transition 2
  • 01m 16s
Comments:

Held up behind bike in front running to transition area.
What would you do differently?:

Could do with a bucket to sit on when switching shoes. Don't wear socks next time? New laces on running shoes. Take off shoes when on bike? Need to practice.
Run
  • 25m 14s
  • 3.11 miles
  • 08m 07s  min/mile
Comments:

Calves started cramping at start but managed to run through it. Legs felt very heavy. Very hot, no shade.
What would you do differently?:

Take a drink with me after transition. Spin at a higher cadence towards end of bike segment to prepare legs for run. Do more speedwork/hills during training.
Post race
Warm down:

Dehydrated.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of training on swim and bike.

Event comments:

First Sprint Triathlon. Pleased with performance - biggest fear was messing up the swim by going out too fast and losing breath.
