Swim
  • 15m 53s
  • 880 yards
  • 01m 48s / 100 yards
Comments:

Felt totally relaxed the entire swim, a first for me in a tri swim. The back portion of the swim wasn't pointed at the beach very well, and I did notice that I swam the two turns kind of wide, but my slow time still surprised me.
What would you do differently?:

Stay tighter to the bouys, learn to swim straighter so I can learn to draft.
Transition 1
  • 01m
Comments:

Extra Body Glide on the ankles and wrists, wetsuit came off like a charm.
What would you do differently?:

Not slip on the grass right into transition.
Bike
  • 39m 15s
  • 14 miles
  • 21.40 mile/hr
Comments:

Tried to keep my cadence in the 95 to 100 range and not push too hard.
What would you do differently?:

Be more confident.
Transition 2
  • 00m 42s
Comments:

This went well also, mostly.
What would you do differently?:

Get my feet out of my shoes better, and keep moving for the dismount.
Run
  • 22m 50s
  • 3 miles
  • 07m 37s  min/mile
Comments:

Just didn't feel like I had any speed, pushed comfortably hard, but didn't catch many people, maybe two.
What would you do differently?:

Train more.
Post race
Warm down:

Chit chat.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I'm about a month behind last year's training, 'A' race is late Aug this year. Just need more time.

Event comments:

Still love the price of this race. Organized is a relative term here, this year was pretty good. There were a few intersections on the bike with no control, but had no issues.
It's the unofficial start of tri season for me
