Swim
Comments: First time swimming in a wetsuit and 2nd time in open water. After the first 200 hundred I was more comfortable with navigation and movement and was able to settle into a better stroke. What would you do differently?: relax more and sight less Transition 1
Comments: I took off wet suit, put on run skirt, put on shoes helmet and sunglasses then ran with bike to mount area What would you do differently?: Not sure yet Bike
Comments: I was on my 10 year old Walmart Schwinn mountain bike. Although I did go faster than my practice rides, it took a lot out of me by the time I got to the run. Also apparently I was not spinning well. I drank plenty of water, but I didn't eat anything. What would you do differently?: Spin more and have a road bike. Also eat something. Transition 2
Comments: I didn't have a shoe change, But I racked my bike the wrong direction the first time and had to change it so the rack didn't fall over. Also forgot my racebelt w/ number. What would you do differently?: Rack my bike the correct way the first time and remember to grab my race belt Run
Comments: The bike hurt me more than it had in practice, so I did walk quite a few times in the first half of the run. I had 2 energy gels, but it would have helped to have some energy gels in the last part of the bike. What would you do differently?: Not walk, have more gels before the run and spin more on the bike. Post race
Warm down: walk around park What limited your ability to perform faster: Limited open water practice. I wasn't bothered by the lake, but I wasn't used to sighting and it took me a while to get a good body position and rhythm. Bike and spinning. I could have used some higher gears and had I spun more on the hills it would have saved my legs a little bit for the run. Event comments: Very well organized and lots of volunteers. Good course.
