Planned to start on the outside, but then got caught in the middle. Could have moved, but decided to start right in the middle of the mash. I figured those skinny guys couldn't push me around! Felt weird crawling all over bodies as we began, but pushed it hard and got out in front of some of them and settled into a rhythm. Had a very good backstretch experience.
Transition 1
  • 01m 50s
Comments:

T1 time was slower than I thought it would be. Felt rushed at the time. Had a little dizziness as I bent over to put on bike shoes.

Decent transition. Felt faster than it was. Still have some work to do.

Comments:

So... I guess I'm slow. Still, this is my best triathlon run yet. I ran the entire way. Wish I would have pushed it more the last mile, but wouldn't have made much of a difference anyway.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around. Drank water and grape G2. Ate a banana and a bagel.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Um... I'm overweight. Let's see how I stack up after losing 90 pounds!

Event comments:

Enjoyed the race. Good to see family and friends and have their encouragement. Hopefully will be back next year!
