  • 01m 46s / 100 yards
Comments:

Swim was overall good. I didn't get kicked in the face so that was good.
What would you do differently?:

Be momre aggressive at start.
Transition 1
  • 04m 19s
Comments:

Took way too long in this transition. I can really make up some time by working on this.
What would you do differently?:

Shoes on pedals already. Buying a new tri-suit that I can wear under the wetsuit to save time. Next year I wil have flip flops or x-tra shoes next to swim entry so I can deal with gravel in T1. Hard to run on.

Could have pushe dit a little harder on bike but wanted to save some for run. Not sure how I would feel but I guess it was a rookie mistake.
Transition 2
  • 02m 38s
Comments:

Ok - not great but can improve a little bit.
What would you do differently?:

I need to work on gettinbg out of shoes while on bike and rnning bike in to save some time.

  • 09m 03s  min/mile
Comments:

Didn't push myself but I think it was a mental thing with all the hills. Not really sure what was coming up next. tried to pick it up on flat spots but those were few and far between.
What would you do differently?:

Train for hills.
Post race
Warm down:

Light stretching and walking

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Hills. Should have trained better

Event comments:

Couls have used a couple more drink staions on run course.
