Comments:

Not particularily pleased with this triathlon swim but it is done nonetheless
What would you do differently?:

learn to swim,get fast enough to avaid age group waves catching up to me, get to event earlier

Comments:

happy that i pulled my cap and goggles into suit, ran from water to station, but must have been complacent and relaxed to get a 3+ minute T1
What would you do differently?:

practice running to top of cottage stairs after swim

Comments:

was expecting a flat course, buuuutttt, it was actually quite hilly. Biked ok, kept inspired most of the time, applied alot of hp but could have been better. stayed calm, went fast on downhills (for the supercycle at 48).
What would you do differently?:

Learn to have a higher cadence, that means train a couple hours per week. Train hills hard so that you dont drop into an absurd gear.
Transition 2
  • 01m 46s
Comments:

fast transition but looked for glasses for 30 seconds
What would you do differently?:

get to race earlier to get a central transition station

Comments:

best run yet and first complete run without walking, my pace shows.
What would you do differently?:

get lighter so that my weight doesnt make it so difficult
Post race
Warm down:

1 minute stretch

What limited your ability to perform faster:

weight, weed smoking, not fulfilling my training program
