Swim
Comments: I really need improvement here. I did the first quarter ok and then just completely tired out. I couldn't maintain breathing and ending up side stroking more than not. I was smart enough to start in the back, but it didnt matter. The crowd was not the issue What would you do differently?: GET BETTER AT SWIMMING Transition 1
Comments: I dont know my exact time here, my HRM wasn't cooperating and since it was my first race it was my last concern. I was beat from the swim so I slowed down a bit. The transition went smoothly though and i was out of the suit and onto my bike in good time What would you do differently?: Not be so dead after the swim! Bike
Comments: I need to get better at hills, but overall I was happy. What would you do differently?: Practice hills a bit more so I can keep my average up and get back to speed faster. Transition 2
Comments: again I dont know the time, but I had my shoes off and feet on shoes 50 yards before the line and jumped off the bike at a run. My transition area was far from the line but I was in my shoes quickly and on the move. What would you do differently?: I had a little trouble racking my bike again so I need to practice that. I think it was mostly because i was moving to fast. Run
Comments: good run and was able to really push at the end. I need to get a little better with the hills, but otherwise I was happy What would you do differently?: not much, just keep doing bricks so I can keep my endurance up Post race
Warm down: met with the family, had some water and gatorade. Ate a bagel, then hung around for the awards. I felt pretty good after. What limited your ability to perform faster: I stink at swimming! Event comments: First race so I dont have much to go by, but this seemed well done and they had a lot of fans and volunteers. Last updated: 2010-07-12 12:00 AM
