Comments:

Nice swim out and back - no weeds, thank you! Went to the outside (50 ft) and just swam my style and speed once the lane was clear. Drifted slowly inside at the end of outbound leg.

Good swim - very happy!
What would you do differently?:

not much, lost earplugs (bummer)
probably would have been faster using a wetsuit (which I don't have right now)
Transition 1
  • 01m 52s
Comments:

went well, could have shaved off a couple of second pushing harder but since this was no sprint didn't see the point
What would you do differently?:

don't knock off clif bar when getting bike
Bike

Comments:

Faster than I expected to be but not really comfortable on bike. Might have been a bad idea to change position (aerobars etc) 1 week before race. Back started hurting mid-race. Nutrition upset tummy a bit
What would you do differently?:

Train more on Tri-Bike, loose the Gatorade (doesn't sit very well with me) - switch to Gels and Jelly-Beans. Drink more water.

What would you do differently?:

Nothing really

What would you do differently?:

Post race
Warm down:

CRASH out!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Nutrition
New Bike position
No wetsuit
not enough running

Event comments:

Will do it again!
