Comments:

Horrible swim. Don't think I did anything right. Went out the first 25 too fast. Couldn't get back to swimming. It was very bad showing.
What would you do differently?:

I am at a lost about what I could have done differently. I am back to needing a coach/master swim class.
Transition 1

Comments:

Shirt stuck as I tried to get over my head. But over all I think it was pretty good. Felt faster than it was according to the clock.
What would you do differently?:

Tape GU to bike instead of placing in helmet. Need to look at getting atri shirt instead of trying to put on a shirt.

Pretty good ride. The course was hilly but I was able to maintain pace and cadence.
What would you do differently?:

Not worry about Garmin and just take off.
Transition 2

Comments:

Unclip my shoes before getting to the dismount line. Able to run barefooted and get started easily.

Ensure that I mark my rack. Went to the wrong rack.
