Comments:

I'm pleased w/ the progress concidering 10 weeks ago it took me 25 minutes to swim 400 meters. Still a lot of work to reach my goal of 7 minutes for 500 meters.
Transition 1
  • 01m 11s
Comments:

Better than the previous transition. Still think I can do better. Fumbled a bit.
What would you do differently?:

Need to rehearse more and practice T coming out of a pool.

Comments:

Decent bike. Thighs seemed to feel fatigue early in the race. Thinking the 15 mile run a week before may have zapped me a bit. First half of the race was ruff, did not feel I got into a rythem till last 3/4 of the race.
What would you do differently?:

Control myself and not do a 15 mile run a week before a race.
Transition 2
  • 01m 2s
Comments:

Toes were numb coming off the bike. I am using Yankz on my running shoes so theoretically should just be able to slide in to them. Had shoes prepped w/ body glide. Went to slide into them and calf immediately cramped up. Had to sit to put on shoes.
What would you do differently?:

Need to be more efficiant putting on my shoes. Need to practice this more.
Run
  • 20m 13s
  • 3 miles

Comments:

Good run. Very winded coming of the bike though and never did get my breath.
What would you do differently?:

Not much. Need to figure out if I can come in off the bike not so winded.

Warm down:

Walk around

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Wind

Event comments:

This sets my base line for next years tris.

Only b1tch is they had a kids tri the intersected w/ the adult racing. Had to slow down a few times to avoid kids. Other than that pretty good.
