Poor swim due to lack of open water experience
What would you do differently?:

Warm up. Train more in open water. Sight more frequently. Draft better. Stay calm

On road bike. The pedals were shimano and not compatible with my look cleats.

Clip on number quicker. Have the right bike

Bike too small. Seat 3 inches too low. Used quads and gluts much more than normal leading to a rough bike to run transition and some minor cramping in the quads initially
What would you do differently?:

Have the right bike
Transition 2
  • 00m 48s
Comments:

Transition could've been quicker. Didn't push it as this is my first sprint of the year and was using new shoes.
What would you do differently?:

I will practice more before next Sprint Tri in July and will ride with feet on top of shoes and do a run dismount

Pretty good run considering legs were fatigued from being on a road bike with seat post too low
What would you do differently?:

Have the right bike.
Post race
Warm down:

Walking and taking liquids

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Having the wrong bike. Terrible swim time due to lack of experience

Event comments:

Overall, a good triathlon to start the season. I was grateful to be able to have raced. Thanks to my friend having his wife bring his road bike for me to ride on.
