Swim
Comments: Felt really good for my first tri swim. What would you do differently?: Gone quicker! I wasn't tired or out of breath when I got out of the water, so I obviously had a lot left in the tank. Transition 1
Comments: Very slow, partially because I was taking my time and trying to get it right, but partially because of inexperience. Also, took the time to towel off and put on long sleeve jersey because of temps. What would you do differently?: Not messed around with my gloves - took about 30 seconds. Bike
Comments: Good effort for my first tri and first time racing on a bike. Passed a bunch of people, but I was pretty far back in the pack due to my swim start time. What would you do differently?: Work harder in training. Still need to get stronger on the hills. Transition 2
Comments: Again, slower than I should have been. Need to practice transitions. What would you do differently?: Buy some of those quick laces for running shoes! Run
Comments: Felt good. Appropriate amount of effort, good pacing. Legs felt OK even at the start - better than they had during my brick workouts. What would you do differently?: Nothing - very satisfied with my run performance. Post race
Warm down: Walked around, got food! What limited your ability to perform faster: Training. Need to get stronger on the bike, and spend more time in the pool. Event comments: Very well run race - would highly recommend. Last updated: 2010-03-22 12:00 AM

Got up early (couldn't sleep anyway!), quick shower and breakfast and got to the event about 1 hour before start (and 2 hours before my swim start).
Half hour before my scheduled swim start, got into the warm pool for about 15 minutes of easy warm-up swimming.
