Swim okay for first half but had a tough time when breathing got heavier - relaxed and then finished okay. Practice swim was very helpful
What would you do differently?:

Will get a wetsuit with full sleeves

Practice getting shirt on while wet

Comments:

Solid bike with minimal IT Band pain. I was still slow but without a tri bike and clips I am happy and know that I could be in the top 5 with better gear. IT Band was good until the last 4 miles
Transition 2
  • 01m 2s
Comments:

It was okay but
What would you do differently?:

I stopped for food that I could have taken on the bike
Run

  • 3.11 miles
  • 10m 01s  min/mile
Comments:

I had to take an extra walk in the last mile. At a pace of over 10 min that is not acceptable. I was 2 minutes slower than the next slowest runner - I have work to do. The IT Band was sore at the start and painful by the 2nd mile
What would you do differently?:

Just keep working on my training
I should have used the biofreeze
Post race
Warm down:

it was pouring ran
I had a massage and legs were okay but back was very tight

What limited your ability to perform faster:

IT Band was very sore but recovered nicely

Event comments:

They did a good job despite what became a hard rain starting early during the bike.
