Swim
Comments: I did well up to the first buoy. Then started to feel difficulty breathing from tightness of wet suits. Had to stop several times to breath. What would you do differently?: maybe try swimming without wet suits. arrive earlier. Transition 1
Bike
Comments: I think I did well for my 2nd race ever. Especially with an old hybrid bike my friend gave me. What would you do differently?: Maybe get a road bike to improve time. Transition 2
Comments: My T2 time should've been around 1min but like many other athletes, my T2 & Run time got screwed because T2 gate was not working? Run
Comments: I think my run time must have been around 22:40. I felt little cramping on left calf at the beginning, so I took it easy. Running on grass and dirt parts of course helped ease the pressure on calf. Since I got passed by someone right on the finish line on my first tri, I wanted to sprint across the finish line. I pushed so hard almost fainted as I crossed the line. What would you do differently?: new running shoes? Post race
Warm down: had lots of drinks, banana and pasta salad. What limited your ability to perform faster: again not enough OWS experience with wetsuits. Event comments: I thought if timing chips were handed out at the registration the day before, it would've eliminate the long line for it. It was a great race and many thanks to organizer and volunteers! I realized after I got home that my heart rate monitor was displaying in % in stead of HR. duh! My maximum hate rate was 210. I guess I pushed myself pretty hard. Wanna try again next year. Last updated: 2010-07-20 12:00 AM
