Comments:

About 1/2 way through I ditched the flip turns. I expend a lot of energy and breath doing them still.
Noticed my strap on my watch flapping in front of me about 2/3 of the way and then one of my straps came off my head for my goggles 3/4 of the way. Didn't stop for either.
Swallowed a bit of water at one point but kept going.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing really---very comfortable in the pool.
Transition 1
  • 10m

had 10 minutes to transition to pool to bike, needed to be fully dry.

Comments:

I thought I was going to die--we did this part on spin bikes. No problems with the actual biking--probably could have gone harder but after 5 minutes I could not feel my butt! 30 minutes felt like an eternity.
What would you do differently?:

Need to get off the recumbant bike at the gym. The saddle on the upright bikes at the Y are definitely bigger than the spin bikes but at least will be closer to what I will be doing during the outdoor tris.
Transition 2
  • 05m
Comments:

Just walked over to the treadmills.
Run
  • 20m
  • 1.14 miles

Comments:

Yeah so this one got off to a slow start because the emergency thingie on my treadmill was not in the right place so the thing wouldn't start.

Once I got started I got up to a decent walking pace pretty quickly...capped out around 3.7 mph.
What would you do differently?:

Aside from checking my treadmill before the start, probably nothing at this point.
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

Not sure how hard I should go in the swim--though I felt I gave all I had there.
The pain in my butt on the bike...could have definitely spun farther if I wasn't focused on that so much.
On the treadmill, had the urge to run but held myself back knowing I couldn't sustain it for too long.

Event comments:

great facility, very well run
will definitely sign up for more of these to
