Stretched a little more.

Comments:

Swim felt good. Just slow and steady.
What would you do differently?:

Maybe push a little hard. Need to get stronger on the swim.
Transition 1
  • 02m 16s
Comments:

Long transition area. Still having problem with getting socks on. Shoes on faster now that I have lace locks.
What would you do differently?:

Need to get some clip shoes.
Bike
  • 1h 16m 43s
  • 26.02 miles
  • 20.35 mile/hr
Comments:

Bike felt good. Pushed hard and was fairly happy with my bike time.
What would you do differently?:

Not push as hard. Need to remember it's not a sprint tri and I have to run 6.2 instead of 3.1. HYDRATE MORE!!!
Transition 2
  • 01m 13s
Comments:

Good smooth transition. Had to turn back for my hat.
What would you do differently?:

Remember my hat and hydrate while working the legs it.

Run
  • 1h 10m 13s
  • 6.21 miles
  • 11m 19s  min/mile
Comments:

Run was horrible. I had absolutely nothing left.
What would you do differently?:

Hydrate more on the bike and take in more fluid at the start of the run. Was probably already dehydrated when I started the run and could not get caught up. Had some cramps in my quads that slowed me down also.
Post race
Warm down:

Lots of cold water.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Did not prepare for the heat. Did not do enough brick workouts. Was not as prepared as I thought I was.

Event comments:

My first olympic and I learned a lot. I will be ready for my next olympic race.
