Swim
  • 04m 51s
  • 300 yards
  • 01m 37s / 100 yards
Comments:

The swim time reporting was really poor. I was passed by two people and passed three. Not everyone stopped at the wall; I did.
What would you do differently?:

I could have saved a minute or so if I had worked harder but the confusion at the start made it a little difficult. Not a bad swim and no real choice given the outside temperature.
Transition 1
  • 03m 22s
Comments:

The run from the pool was down some wet steps and then about 300/400 meters outside barefoot. I took my time and it wasn't as cold as I thought it would be.
What would you do differently?:

No real choices here. I did take the time to put on a different shirt and redo my hair in transition :)

I didn't see any reason to pace myself on this. I could even have rode a little harder. Quick easy course.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing.

Comments:

Not terrible.
What would you do differently?:

Hurry up.

Comments:

Great run for me. It took about a mile and a half to get my legs back - I need to work on bricks.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing. Great run.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked, ate some food, mingled.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Training.

Event comments:

Great training race and awesome for beginners. I wanted to get back into racing this season and it was a great race to do it.
