Comments:

Overall I stuck to my swim plan.
Start in back keep out of way for faster swimmers.
I started a little fast so after rounding first bouy I slowed down to control my pace.
I had a lot of trouble sighting back to the beach from second bouy. I think it would have been good to have a third bouy to sight to back near the beach
What would you do differently?:

Pick a good landmark to sight to at beach

Overall I was happy with my bike. My legs felt good out of the water and I was able to pass a lot of people. I pushed fairly hard on the bike and hoped that it would hurt me too bad on the run.
What would you do differently?:

Push a little harder on the last climb of the race
Transition 2
  • 00m

Comments:

I had a cramp for the 1st half of the run. I am not sure why (this doesn't usally happen to me). Overall I took it easy to the turn around and then picked it up for the last half of the run. I had a goal of to finish total time of less than 1:30 so I pushed a little to try to do that. I don't think I could have run faster (I'm a slow runner!!).
I was happy with my time since this was full minute faster than my PR for a stand-alone 5K.

My 4 year old son ran the last 50 feet with me so this was pretty exciting.
What would you do differently?:

Not much
Post race
Warm down:

Walk around, drank lots of water and cheered for the other racers.

Event comments:

Overall I think the race was really organized well (although this was my 1st tri).

I really liked the event and can't wait to do another tri.
