Comments:

I had the worst swim ever. Terrible swim. TO start of i did had my gogle on. I was so excited and forgot them on my forehead. The I tried to put them under the water, which was even more dumb. had to stop and put it on. Lost alot of time on that. Got passed by four people.
What would you do differently?:

Prepare myself better, train and calm down.

Run faster, practice more the HRM and pedals on bike.

Did very good on the bike riding. EXCEPT that I had biig issues with my pedals. Could not get the cleats to fit. Finally had them in...
What would you do differently?:

Put the cleats on the pedals prior to the race. Practice doing it, and ride more to get stronger on the bike.

Comments:

Really had hard time mounting the bike back on the rack. Loost alot of time on it. Plus got lost where to leave for the running. Good for firt tri.
What would you do differently?:

Take feet out during rinding and jumping out of the bike while moving. Mount the bike right, get more orientaded. Faster transition

Had a good and confortable run. Felt that could run faster at the end. Due to first tri I was afraid of not being able to finish, reason why I ran carefully, not forcing as much as I could.

NONE
