Swim
  • 15m 14s
  • 875 yards
  • 01m 44s / 100 yards
Comments:

Good swim. Had a great starting spot to the right of the starting buoy and was traffic free until the first turn. Kept a steady pace and breathing/sighting cadence for a majority of the swim.
What would you do differently?:

Could have pushed the swim a bit faster, should have gotten closer to shore before running in.
Transition 1
  • 01m 9s
Comments:

Trouble with a dry shirt on wet body again. Little trouble getting the bike out b/c the rack was too low. Got a slow start once on the bike.
What would you do differently?:

Gotta get a tri suit. Also need to learn how to get into shoes that are already on the bike.
Bike

Comments:

Good ride.
What would you do differently?:

Just need to train more/harder to get faster.
Transition 2
  • 01m 10s
Comments:

Little stuck getting off the bike at the dismount line. Ran into transition well, but ran to the wrong transition space (they had the same very distinct towel) and spent a bit of time getting to the right space. Good transition after that.
What would you do differently?:

Pay attention.
Run
  • 23m 58s
  • 3.1 miles
  • 07m 44s  min/mile
Comments:

Good overall run, probably could have pushed it a little harder a little sooner.
What would you do differently?:

Not much.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked up the course to cheer on my wife.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

lack of effort in training.

Event comments:

Another great race by element events. Always well organized and well staffed. The post race food tent is one of the best!
