Swim
Comments: This was a slower swim than I wanted to have, I think because I didn't swim enough in the last two weeks. Also, I was slowing up b/c people were clogging up at the lane lines, trying to go under them. What would you do differently?: Swim more before the race Transition 1
Comments: This needs more practice--It was definately slower than normal b/c I took off a wet top, put on tights, top and jacket. Took time getting gravel off feet ***Strange, but there was no time for T1, I think it must be included in the bike time, so this is an estimate based on my bike computer time What would you do differently?: Practice--running in shoes, hopping on bike Bike
Comments: Overall, I thought I did pretty well for me. I didn't know what to expect, but I made it through all the hills :) **And, now that I've looked at the results, I'm pretty happy with my bike. Certainly more practice would have helped, but I feel pretty good about it :) What would you do differently?: Ride hills before, ride course before. Practice turning, getting up to high speeds, cornering at higher speeds, get toe warmers/bootie things--my feet were numb by the end Transition 2
Comments: Again need more practice, slowly got off bike Run
Comments: This was a run/walk. Got cramps. Don't know if that's because I haven't run much over the last month, or if my nutrition was bad. What would you do differently?: Get more runs in before race Post race
Warm down: walked around a bit, drank lots, What limited your ability to perform faster: Not in shape :) Event comments: This was really a great race. Put on my MU's student foundation and HFP racing. They did a great job, lots and lots of folks on the course to direct and cheer, very well organized. I will do it again next year!
