Swim
Comments: Had to wait 2 hours after start to get in the pool. Lost focus and technique that's my fault, I need more practice. I wasn't happy with my performance but it was my first race so I learned a lot. What would you do differently?: I need a better trainng plan. Practice staying focused and relaxed. Transition 1
Comments: I think I was well prepared. I was satisfied for now with my transitions. What would you do differently?: No need for gloves. No need for socks. I'm thinking about learning how to transition with my shoes on the bike. Bike
Comments: I'm OK with my bike performance. I just need to keep training and learning. The course was good with some pretty good hills but I had practiced on teh course so I was prepared. What would you do differently?: Training harder, stay in the saddle and tucked as much as possible. Transition 2
Comments: No problems here, just need to speed up. I was prepared so it went well What would you do differently?: Practice "feet out of shoes" before unmount line (no socks will help here). Run faster to rack. Run
Comments: OK with run. A better training plan will help me improve here too. What would you do differently?: Train harder! Post race
Warm down: Not much here, I stood around and talked to family and friends then went home and had a turkey dinner. I guess I should look into a warm-down routine. What limited your ability to perform faster: Swim and biking strength / endurance. Event comments: My rating would be a 5 except for the swim delay. I don't know how that could be improved upon. The race organizers and volunteers were great. The race seemed to be very organized. I was very impressed. I was very happy I chose this for a first race. Last updated: 2011-09-27 12:00 AM
