  • 02m 24s / 100 yards
Comments:

I exceeded my goal for the 30 minutes by 250 yds. Now I am having a hard time beleiving this. I swam more than my workout length in 8 minutes less time. I like the looks of it but and not beleiving it!
What would you do differently?:

Started converting to crawl earlier so I didn't have to do any of the back laps I did.
Transition 1
  • 10m
Comments:

We had 10 minutes between each event. I made it to my stationary bike with 30 sec. to go thus losing my chance to adjust the seat
What would you do differently?:

Get my butt moving faster to get to the bike on time!
Bike
  • 30m
  • 7.23 miles
  • 14.46 mile/hr
Comments:

Since I didn't adjust the seat I was pedalling ineffiecently. That said I had my HR up in the 150's and I was sweating like a dog so I got a good workout in. As I started riding I realized I left my towel and my drink bottle in my pack behind the bike. Fortunately a volunteer brought me a bottle of water.
What would you do differently?:

Hustle my but through T1 faster so I could adjust the bike.
Transition 2
  • 10m
Comments:

Just stepped next door and waited - I was ready for this one.
Run
  • 30m
  • 2.33 miles
  • 12m 53s  min/mile
Comments:

I kept a pretty good racewalking pace on this. Of course the treadmill can drive you along a bit so that was helpful. Felt really good - no knee pain at all. HR - the 150's
What would you do differently?:

NOt much - I thought this leg went very well considering my limitations due to the knees.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked a little, took a good shower and then hung out in the hospitality area

What limited your ability to perform faster:

My bike performance. Of course a lot of that was in the electronics. Formwise I was happy with my bike just not mileagewise.

Event comments:

For my first tri I really enjoyed it - the fact that I wasn't dead and was able to enjoy an afternoon with the BT crowd was good too. It was very well organized and had lots of volunteers.
