What would you do differently?:

Don't conserve too much energy, my first tri I was worried I would be too tired to bike/run after swimming too hard
Transition 1

Comments:

wearing a trisuit makes transitions fast. Also don't wear socks
What would you do differently?:

put bike closer to exit gate, hard to find after swim confusion (light headed)

Comments:

Cycling is my strongest discipline, on men's aluminum Allez with upgraded parts/rims. Passed a lot of people, nobody passed me. At a sharp turn the volunteer was afraid I'd lose control as I hit it fast and hard, but I was confident.
What would you do differently?:

rent a tri bike w/ aero bars and helmet. Maybe learn how to mount cyclocross style and have shoes already clipped to pedals.

  • 01m 56s
Comments:

Haven't mastered loosening shoes on the fly yet.

Comments:

Just started running 1 month before my first tri. My weakest discipline, very slow but continuously ran. Lots of people passed me.
What would you do differently?:

Keep dieting and training!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Excess weight, inexperience

Event comments:

All women race with options for super sprint, duathlon. Great for first time.
