Event warmup:

Not too much. Ran for about 5 minutes. Did some stretching. Ran up the boat ramp from the swim exit to T1.
Swim
  • 11m 10s
  • 437 yards
  • 02m 33s / 100 yards
Comments:

This was interesting. I think that I took 5 or 6 strokes of actual freestyle. Being around everyone in the swim was an experience. 11 minutes for a swim is just oo long.
What would you do differently?:

Get to the outside away from people to get more into a rhythm. Need to spend more time in the pool and get a more efficient stroke.
Transition 1
  • 01m 47s
Comments:

Wetsuit came off easily. Overall I think everything went well.
What would you do differently?:

Work on multi tasking. Getting suit off and helmet on at the same time.
Bike
  • 42m 12s
  • 15 miles
  • 21.33 mile/hr
Comments:

I starting to get some cramps on the bike at about mile 6 or 7. Maybe was pushing a little too hard. 12 in my age group on the bike. I was happy with that.
What would you do differently?:

Get my fitness up to avoid cramping.
Transition 2
  • 01m 26s
Comments:

Had to put on socks which slowed me down. The one time I tried to train w/o socks, I got a blister. Everything was soaked from the rain which also didn't help. OVerall though I was happy.
What would you do differently?:

Work on running without socks to speed transitions on sprint distance races.
Run
  • 29m 58s
  • 3 miles
  • 09m 59s  min/mile
Comments:

Not a bad run. I just want to go so much faster. It was my PR 5K but I just feel like I can do more.
What would you do differently?:

Train more. Get my running to where I want it to be.
Post race

Event comments:

What a great experience. Finishing my first race! I was telling my self in the days before the race that I would be happy with under 1:45 and I really wanted sub 1:30. Came out with 1:26 so I was ecstatic. Also, my girlfriend and training partner too 2nd in her AG in her first race so that just made the day.
