 Swim
Comments: Got kicked in the face right at the start....rounded first buoy right on my left shoulder, then got tugged down on the shoulder by some guy..overall not bad but could have been a little faster..Navigation was much better was able to hug the buoys..(Time base off Garmin there was no electronic timing!!) What would you do differently?: Learn to get on out front and clear some people,,need to get my swim time down...  Transition 1
Comments: This time includes a 100+ yard runt through mus to get to bike.. sunglasses,helmet, shoes on sock less,grabbed bike and was gone... (Time from Garmin due to no electronic timing) What would you do differently?: Just continue to practice these, learn to have shoes clipped in and get in them after mounting bike...  Bike
Comments: Goal going in was 19+ average, passed some people on the hill climbs, then just worked my way through the field the rest of the ride.. Overall felt good.. What would you do differently?: Get a tt bike so I can really get aero!! Transition 2
Comments: Had a good t2 decided to go sock less on the run this time, racked bike helmet off,shoes on grabbed visor and race belt to put on while running.. (time from Garmin) What would you do differently?: Nothing to much, just run faster to rack the bike  Run
Comments: The run course with the hills was tough for me, I just tried to keep a decent pace, goal coming end was 9:00 min/mile pace got passed by a couple of people which made me mad then I just tried to keep them in sight..kept trying to push myself faster since I only had 3.4 miles to cover.. (time and distance from Garmin) What would you do differently?: Work on more hill climbs in training and try to get this run pace below 8:00min/mile pace for the whole run.. Overall I cant beat myself to bad since I did have knee surgery in Feb. Post race
Warm down: Some stretching, compression stockings on calves, iced the knee, plenty of water and a banana... Went to finish line and waited for my friend to finish... What limited your ability to perform faster: Nothing really just need to keep on training and pushing myself, overall think I'm doing pretty good being that it is my first year racing.. Event comments: Overall a good course for beginners, doesn't have timing chips, but with a Garmin you can estimate all of your split times. Just a medium key laid back race!!
