Comments:

I had a major freakout moment in the first 200m. There was some major thrashing around and I thought if I fought it for a while it would smooth out. At one point I stopped and swam to the outside to get out of the chaos.
What would you do differently?:

start to the outside a bit more. I'm not a fast enough swimmer to start in the middle yet.
Transition 1
  • 01m 16s
What would you do differently?:

transition times could be better. I need to get a tri top so i don't have to fiddle with putting my bike jersey on in T1

Comments:

I love the bike portion of any tri. This is where I make up time lost from the swim. Its fun to play catch up and fly past people.
What would you do differently?:

I probably could have went harder. I was trying to save my legs for the run, but I should have stayed on the gas a bit longer.
Transition 2

Comments:

my T2 time was about what I expected.
What would you do differently?:

t2 time should be closer to 45sec
