Pre-race routine:

Showed up early to sign in and got everything set up for transitions. Walked around to get layout of facility.
Event warmup:

First race and only did light stretching! Did not want to waste much energy since the winds were very strong.

Comments:

Overall good swim for a beginner.
What would you do differently?:

Do more workouts at longer distances without breaks.
Transition 1
  • 02m 32s
Comments:

Was slow, but was worried about getting into pedals more than speed. Will work to improve with practice. Need to watch others on some off weekends to see better technique.
What would you do differently?:

Not sure will learn more by watching others.
Bike
  • 41m 37s

Comments:

Felt good during the race, but the wind gusts really took the energy out of my system.
What would you do differently?:

Training on more hills with longer distances to increase endurance.

Run
  • 36m 26s
  • 3.11 miles
  • 11m 43s  min/mile
Comments:

Not prepared for the run! Weak in this area and did not run entire time.
What would you do differently?:

Training for run needs to become my focus at this point.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around and watched others finish. Got some water and started to clean up transition area.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Weight loss has not been enough that the run was too hard. Must focus on addidtional weigth loss and do longer run workouts.

Event comments:

Will be back next year if everythings works out!
