Age Group Rank = 3/7
Event warmup:

ran back to the car to put things away, this helped get the blood flowing. Also swam a few strokes to get used to the water so there were no surprises on water temp.
Swim
  • 17m 12s
  • 820 yards
  • 02m 06s / 100 yards
What would you do differently?:

breathe every other stroke for slightly better speed.
work on better start-- I was in 2nd row, I would start out front!
Transition 1
  • 02m 28s
Comments:

This transition was ok. More thought, more practice would make it better. I did not run up the stairs, they were spaced too close/short and I didn't want to misstep and fall.
What would you do differently?:

Run with the bike to the transition line, get on while the bike is moving...?

Transition 2
  • 01m 36s
Comments:

I didn't run much when I brought in the bike.
What would you do differently?:

Could run more with bike. Could also get the shoe-ties to slip in/out of the shoes faster.
Run
  • 28m 46s
  • 3.11 miles
  • 09m 15s  min/mile
Comments:

this was a good time for me, even though it was my weakest event overall.
What would you do differently?:

not stop. I slowed to a very fast walk two times. I will continue to work to eliminate those.
Post race
Warm down:

I stretched several times as we wandered around chatting and eating.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

lack of sleep. more speed drills for running. better bike endurance.

Event comments:

I thoroughly enjoyed the challenge of this race. It was my first tri, and a great one to sink my teeth into. Challenging bike, followed by a flat trail run. Good combination. Well organized.
