  • 300 yards
  • 02m 17s / 100 yards
Comments:

Well, I still need to work on my swimming but the swim was much better than I anticipated. I was fortunate that there was a 1:30 break after me so I wasn't pressured in the water at all. Was able to maintain a smooth pace the entire swim. Felt great.
What would you do differently?:

Just continue working on swimming. Learn how to flip turn or at least swim under the ropes instead of ducking under.
Transition 1
  • 01m 16s
Comments:

It was a long transition area. I actually took my time and got it done.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing. I think I did well in the transition. Maybe move a little faster. but all good.

Comments:

Pretty good on the bike. It wasn't my best effort. Nothing really wrong but I still had lots left in the tank when I was done. I do not think I attacked as much as I should have.
What would you do differently?:

I need to spend more time in the saddle. I have to improve my cycling.
Transition 2
  • 00m 47s
Comments:

Did good job just dropping my helmet and getting my running shoes on.
What would you do differently?:

T2 went smoothly.

Comments:

The run was good. Ran as quickly as I could.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing else I could have differently.
Post race
Warm down:

Nothing special. I really need to work on a better cool down.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Poor swim turns and a completely sluggish bike ride.

Event comments:

I would definitely do this race again. Love the ride.
