Swim
  • 20m 9s
  • 750 meters
  • 02m 40s / 100 meters
Comments:

Swim was done in waves starting every 5 minutes, and people seemed to spread out pretty well after about 50m so there was space to swim.
What would you do differently?:

Work on breath control, do more freestyle & less backstroke.
Transition 1
  • 01m 50s
Comments:

Narrow path for the beginning of the ride, so could be hectic if in a big group, fortunately I was not so it worked out just fine. The first bit was also a little rough of a road, but after that it was flat and fast!!!
What would you do differently?:

Shake out my legs and move a little faster at the beginning of the ride.

What would you do differently?:

Pick up speed earlier in course.

Comments:

Fast and easy transition, only thing slowing me down was getting around other people also going into transition area.
What would you do differently?:

Drink a swig of water before heading out for the run.

Comments:

First part of the run felt like I was just shuffling! But felt good once I got going. The road felt pretty hard so that seemed to take a toll after a while.
What would you do differently?:

Push through the fatigue and run faster!
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

Just plain and simple fatigue!

Event comments:

This was my first race and it was incredible. Great race for beginner's to get their feet wet or experienced racers to inprove their times. I would recommend this race to anyone, it was so much fun!
