Comments:

Had trouble getting my breathing normal and i couldn't draft much because there weren't that many people in my wave.
What would you do differently?:

I would probably try harder to get my breathing right.
Transition 1
  • 04m
Comments:

when i got into transition for some reason when i looked down to get my socks and shoes on i was dizzy/ unstable so it took me a while to recover from that. someone had also turned my bike the other way than i had set it up so that slowed me down.
What would you do differently?:

maybe if the dizziness happens again try sitting down while putting on socks and shoes.
