Swim
Comments: pretty good for my first pool swim, collided with one person going the opposite direction. still managed to pass some people in the tight lanes. What would you do differently?: nothing Transition 1
Comments: no transition splits were provided...interesting...guessing this got added into my bike split. was interesting having an uphill run to the bike start, ~50-75m What would you do differently?: nothing, without knowing how long it took i can't really say. Bike
Comments: I liked the course, some long climbs followed by long descents, nothing very steep at all. there were a lot of turns though. T1 got added to the bike split What would you do differently?: maybe push a little harder, around mile 12 i noticed i was barely breathing and just cruising along. could have made up some time here. Transition 2
Comments: no transition data... guessing it got lumped into the run split. What would you do differently?: nothing, went pretty well overall i think. carried my belt out with me onto the run course instead of messing with it in transition. Run
Comments: felt a little sluggish to start, but my pace was still where i wanted it What would you do differently?: maybe pick up the cadence on the bike when approaching transition during the last mile to loosen up my legs more. Post race
Warm down: wandered around drinking gatorade/water What limited your ability to perform faster: the only thing that may have hindered me is not knowing there was a big steep hill on the run, in the future i should check out the run and bike courses Event comments: Got first in my AG so i can't complain too much. i didn't like the pool start with each person starting single file; there were people starting the bike after the 250m swim as i was finishing it. i guess thats just a pool vs OWS preference i have now after trying both. i wish there were separate splits for the transitions, i would like to see if i improved at all in this area from my last race. knocked off a point on my race rating for this.
