 Swim
Comments: Was going well when I first got into the water, but I have a tendency to spit water out as I breath in, and since it was salt water that was not good. Unfortunately I never got into my normal stroke as I didn't want to suck in anymore water. So I swam 300 yards with my head out. Arms and legs were going well but with the head out form was poor. Overall I was happy, since it was my first one. What would you do differently?: Need to learn how to not let water in while breathing during my swim. If that is eliminated I could have shaved off at least a minute or 2  Transition 1
Comments: Got out of T1 pretty well for my 1st time. No socks and right into the sneakers worked and saved time. Next year I will ahve a better fitting suit and won't have a ton of water in the ankles. What would you do differently?: Get fitted and buy a wetsuit.  Bike
Comments: Thrilled with my bike as I kept an avg mph higher than I have ever had. Frustrated at first getting passed a lot, but this is my first race and have only been riding for 3 weeks is all I kept saying. Passed a few people and played leap frog with others. That was AWESOME! Just had a blast today. What would you do differently?: Get better over time and buy some aerobars! Transition 2
Comments: In and out very quick, since I had running shoes on just a quick rack and helmet off. What would you do differently?: Nothing really, brush feet off in T1 instead of during the run on the course.  Run
Comments: Get better at running. Although I hadn't ran for 2 weeks because of a sore knee, but finished well. And I set a PR maybe for my next 5k I'll go ride 14 miles before hand. What would you do differently?: Just get better at running and find my pace to push myself without killing myself. Post race
Warm down: Quick stretch, beer, food, and waters. What limited your ability to perform faster: Just being new and only training for 4 weeks. I did this to prove to myself I can do it and get a starting time to knock down next year. Event comments: Awesome first race. Great people and awesome volunteers! Triathletes are the greatest people!! Profile Album Last updated: 2009-09-14 12:00 AM

Had a bagel with peanut butter, a coffee, and drank a few bottles of water.
Got there very early to get a good parking spot and not have to take the shuttle. Set up my transition area then hung out on the beach in shock that I was about to do a triathlon. Started stretching at about 10:05 and got a good stretch in.
