Swim

  • 01m 50s / 100 meters
Comments:

Had an OK swim. Lost site of the finish area on the beach the last 400 meters. Did a lot of zig-zagging back to shore to find my way. Probably added an extra 100 meters to my swim.
What would you do differently?:

Focus more on finish location. Plan my route a little better pre-swim.

Comments:

Jogged from swim to bike area carefully since there were a lot of big rocks. Took my time and caught my breath from the swim. Didn't rush anything.
What would you do differently?:

Have clothes set out a little better. Have supplements prepared better.

Comments:

Bike was an in & out 1 loop course. Pretty flat, had a couple small hills at the beginning & end of the route. Nothing to difficult. Was able to meet my goal on the time.
What would you do differently?:

Start out a little faster. Took off slow. Need to spend more time in the saddle.
Transition 2

Comments:

Got off the bike pretty quick and was able to get to transition area quick since it was right where I came in. Was able to put on socks & shoes fast.
What would you do differently?:

Forgot to grab supplements on the run out...

What would you do differently?:

Nothing
Post race
Warm down:

Did a lot of walking since the hamstrings were tightening up. Had a couple banana's and a G2.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Genetics

Event comments:

It was the 1st year for this race. Started a little late, but all in all was put on very well and should be even better in years to come. Would do it again.
