![]() Swim
Comments: Struggled with other arms flailing and finding my way; breathing was difficult after rounding last bouy; had to side stroke for a while; then swam fast to beach; needs improvement. What would you do differently?: Get out quicker; keep a slow steady pace; better siting; don't panic ![]() Transition 1
Comments: Needed to have quick tie shoelaces; spent too much time trying to tie shoes; also needed quicker way to get socks on; What would you do differently?: Take off entire suit before the run; quick tie shoelaces; clean feet and maybe sit down to put on socks and dry feet. ![]() Bike
Comments: Need a bike that fits me and I'd do much better; wasn't sure how to pace and when to push; What would you do differently?: Get a new bike; learn how to race ![]() Transition 2
Comments: Need to dump bike and helmet faster and then run What would you do differently?: Quick tie laces would help again here = used running shoes for bike segment ![]() Run
Comments: Had trouble with shoes off the bike; need to have quick tie laces; otherwise ran strong; could have gone faster; sand run at the end killed me What would you do differently?: Faster pace ![]() Post race
Warm down: None - ate pancakes What limited your ability to perform faster: Bad shoe laces; didn't push myself hard enough on any segment Event comments: For mey first tri - it was an absolute blast; the swim was my worst segment and difficult with all of the bodies; need to work on this most; also need to get a bike the fits me better and push myself all around harder Last updated: 2009-09-26 12:00 AM
