  • 500 yards
  • 01m 43s / 100 yards
Comments:

Not a bad swim never was redlining at all not much contact just around buoys and was strong coming home. Anytime I pop out of the water under 8 minutes I'm happy. Bad: I tore my wetsuit around the calf putting it on in a hurry.
What would you do differently?:

don't get lost arrive on time and get a proper warm up. Drive the pace a little more
Transition 1

What would you do differently?:

not wear socks just lube up the feet, trail run without socks scared me

What would you do differently?:

nothing, rode hard just need more time on the bike

Comments:

Very muddy, fell down around mile 1 and it really slowed me down. Felt good during the run but was scared to go faster with the condition of the trail. Even walked one hill to make sure I didn't fall again.
What would you do differently?:

not much I'm not a good trail runner and it was just to muddy for me to go any faster
Post race
Warm down:

none

What limited your ability to perform faster:

weather conditions,lack of bike training, and muddy trails

Event comments:
