Beginning of the swim the wet suite cord was rubbing my neck raw. Terrible pain, had to swim with one arm while trying to get the leash off the Velcro and off my skin.

Make sure the cord is away from my skin. Do not make a loop at the top. I would start more in the pack to improve my time.

Was very dizzy coming out of the water. Had a hard time gaining focus and putting on my socks. The wetsuit stripper got stuck on my ankles, wasted time.

Felt good on the bike and enjoyed the ride. Did not have the areo bars.

Was able to catch Carlos on the ride and almost caught Teague. Found Teague in the transition.

Not put a new seat on before the race.

Could not find my bike rack spot. Also had a difficult time lacing my shoes. I kept getting the laces under the tongue of the shoe.

Had to slow myself down often during the run. Was not running in proper form. I was striking with my heals for the first two miles as my legs were warming up. Did not get to drink much b/c I knew the race was short. If it were a longer race I would have drank more.

Learn how to drink on the run w/o taking in so much air.

Walked around the finishers area and then stood to cheer on teammates


I feel like the swim could have been better and if I work on this dizziness I will be much better in the first transition.


Extremely organized race with tons of volunteers. Really enjoyed the race and the amount of family activities that were planned. The only thing I disliked about the running course is that you finished by running across a sandy beach, which is very dangerous. I almost rolled my ankle while approaching the finish line. I felt bad for all of the 1/2 IM people b/c they had to run across the sand two times.
