Comments:

Good swim, a pushed a little harder than I originally wanted. Passed person in front of me.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing, I guess, not much of a choice.
Transition 1
  • 02m 15s
Comments:

Good transition considering I was a little pooped from the hard swim and jog from the pool.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing
Bike
  • 21m 38s
  • 4.3 miles
  • 11.93 mile/hr
Comments:

Freezing cold at first, dripping from the pool, one really rough spot on the first lap made the bike act funny. I was passed a good bit, espacially after the bump, but it was nessacary to conserve energy for the run.
What would you do differently?:

Avoid the rough spots better.
Transition 2
  • 00m 40s
Comments:

Good, quick transistion here, sipped some water and was on my way.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing

Comments:

I hate running, definately after swimming and biking. Slow to say the least but consistant.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing
Post race
Warm down:

Finish line banana and water. Walked around, sat in shade, talked to wife.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

The run, for sure. Pushed a little too hard in the swim but not sure it it hinderd or helped. Transitions were fast, but could have been faster.

Event comments:

Good race for a true beginner. Not very long, over pretty quick, but a good length for the true beginner just starting out in the triathlon sport.
