Comments:

After my open water swim on Thursday I was really worried about this part of the event. Tried to sight using other swimmers instead of buoys--that seemed to work well. Got jostled and bumped a few times but nothing major. My goggles fogged up which was a little problematic.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing, I felt I did well on the swim
Transition 1
  • 02m 13s
Comments:

I wasted alot of time in T1, I forgot my race belt and had to rack my bike and run back. Also, I should do my shoes differently. Couldn't figure out lace locks in time. Went old school.
What would you do differently?:

Get different lacing system. Run faster with bike.
Bike
  • 44m 34s
  • 12 miles
  • 16.16 mile/hr
Comments:

I biked faster than normal which is still slow comparatively speaking. I need to work on my speed. I also need to take a bike class--because my tires were under inflated and I didn't know that. Good thing my brother was there to help me out.
What would you do differently?:

Take a class, keep riding. Try longer distances.
Transition 2
  • 01m 11s
Comments:

Easy transition since I didn't change shoes for the bike.
What would you do differently?:

I want to get clipless system to improve time on the bike.
Run
  • 37m
  • 3.11 miles
  • 11m 54s  min/mile
Comments:

Horrible run, I was spent. I need to work more on my runs. Quicker and longer. But I'm happy I didn't walk.
What would you do differently?:

Practice!
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around, had some fruit. Basked in the day!
