Swim
  • 11m 53s
  • 402 meters
  • 02m 57s / 100 meters
Comments:

My short swims are pretty strong. I could be faster, but based on my ability this was a fairly good swim
What would you do differently?:

I need to build endurance with my good technique, because I am a lot faster when I'm pushing forward with my hips.
Transition 1
  • 04m 52s
Comments:

My transitions are too slow, especially for not having a wetsuit on and just doing a sprint. next year this should be sub 2 minutes. Need to use fast zipping shoes.
What would you do differently?:

lock laces
Bike
  • 53m 35s
  • 15 miles
  • 16.80 mile/hr
Comments:

This was a pretty good ride for me. I think the course might have been a little short, but I think i only walked one hill at most, and I rode as fast as I had power to.
What would you do differently?:

more hill training, more weight loss.
Transition 2
  • 02m 51s
Comments:

Wore the running shoes for the bike so it was a quick on off.
Run
  • 58m 50s
  • 4 miles
  • 14m 43s  min/mile
Comments:

I walked almost the whole course. I wasnt running much yet, and I was pretty slow. I should have been able to take almost 20 minutes off this time if i was running just 10 minute miles
What would you do differently?:

run more if I could.
Post race
Warm down:

stood around and hung out

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Im slow and fat still.

Event comments:

they had problems on the road course because a volunteer was more worried about chatting on her phone than on telling people where to turn.
