Comments:

Swim felt good but should have been faster. Focused more on technique and breathing so had little time with head up out of water or having to change stroke.
What would you do differently?:

Work on swim speed

Practice flying mount on bike and riding with shoes already on bike.

Stopped to assist someone with a Co2 bottle breaker and ended up talking for a min so lost time but felt ok with it for a first oly race.
What would you do differently?:

Keep moving and push hard.
Transition 2

Looked into the idea of cutting time but with lack of practice decided against trying the flying dismount this time around.
What would you do differently?:

Practice the flying dismount and riding with shoes on bike.

Bonked on the run. Drank some gatorade and cramped up right after. Ended up doing the walk/run game for about 4 of the 6 miles.
What would you do differently?:

Train a lot more on running
Post race

Stretching and relaxing in lake to cool off.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of training

Event comments:

Good race for me overall but a few errors on my part that limited my ability to perform at my best. Very informative for a first Oly race.
