Comments:

Good swim, I paced myself well and didn't go so hard I was panting - didn't get caught up or get passed (got caught but not passed) About 20 sec. faster than last year on LOTS less pool training
What would you do differently?:

Nothing
Transition 1
  • 00m 57s
Comments:

Rubber bands broke too early so getting into my shoes was a trick - I didn't do well with that one today but that actually was w/ my bike time, not transition time - transition time was great
What would you do differently?:

Nothing, well maybe a better set up with the rubber bands

Comments:

This was about as good as I could have done on the bike but I definitly think I have plenty of room for improvement
What would you do differently?:

Train more - better job w/ shoes getting started up

Overall a decent t2, plenty of running b/c it was a big transition

Nothing really

Comments:

I was focusing on having a good run today and worked hard (there was panting and drooling), again I still see room for improvement since I finished, waited about 10 min. then went back out for another 3 miles
What would you do differently?:

Nothing really, I felt good, stayed positive and ran hard : ) PR TODAY!
Post race

Did another 5k run to cool down

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Nothing, this was 5 min. faster than last year - great day!!
