Swim
  • 05m 48s
  • 400 yards
  • 01m 27s / 100 yards
Comments:

Way better swim than last time. Water was warmer, I was right on the cusp of leaving the suit off, but decided to use it. Swim times in races are a lot better for me than in the pool. I still ran out of gas a little bit on the last leg, but still 10x better than my first one.
What would you do differently?:

I need more OWS practice.
Transition 1
  • 02m 49s
Comments:

I have a couple of free minutes I need to pick up here. No wetsuit will help, just need to practice it.
What would you do differently?:

Lay my stuff out at the front of the bike. I also had my chain off the bike when I tried to mount, not sure what happened there, but it wasn't a big deal really.
Bike

  • 17.75 mile/hr
Comments:

I have got to find some speed here. I think I just need more seat time on the bike. I wasn't really wore out, and I was pushing, I'm just not very fast. Average HR was in th 170's I think, my conditioning just isn't there on the bike.
What would you do differently?:

Work, Work, Work.
Transition 2
  • 01m 59s
Comments:

Same deal, I probably gave away a minute here just messing around trying to get my Garmin on. Next time, I'm just putting it on in T1 and leaving it. Plus I need to figure out the Multisport Mode.
What would you do differently?:

Stop dawdling.
Run
  • 24m 22s
  • 3 miles
  • 08m 07s  min/mile
Comments:

This was another 5k (ish) PR for me. The run is probably my best segment. Granted, I'm still slow, but it's improving.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing really.

I'll do this one again for sure.
