Swim
  • 21m 32s
  • 750 meters
  • 02m 52s / 100 meters
Comments:

The Swim timers were broke so this time includes T1, which I guess to be about 2 minutes.

This was my second OWS in a race. I have a lot of things to work on. Very different than pool swims and starts.
What would you do differently?:

I think I tried to pace myself TOO well. I got to the 600 m buoy and realized I wasn't tired at all so I pushed the rest of the way in.

Transition 1
  • 00m
Comments:

Time lumped in swim time
What would you do differently?:

My hands were shaking from the swim and I couldn't get my watch on. Wasted a lot of time on that. For Christmas, I'm asking for a watch I can swim in.
Bike
  • 56m 38s
  • 16 miles
  • 16.95 mile/hr
Comments:

Wish some of the roads weren't so rough.
What would you do differently?:

I think I need some coaching on using gears. I feel like I have the power to be faster but don't know how to put it to use.
Transition 2
  • 01m 18s
Comments:

When I got back the bikes on either side of my number were already racked with little room to spare. My oxygen-deprived brain had a hard time squeezing my bike back in place. Otherwise it was pretty good.
Run
  • 29m 45s
  • 3.11 miles
  • 09m 34s  min/mile
What would you do differently?:

Learn the course beforehand so I could more wisely spend my energy on the flats.
Post race
Warm down:

Just walking around eating cookies.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Not knowing the course. Inexperience with OWS in a race environment

Event comments:

I liked the challenge of the course. I liked the kids' activities at the finish.

I dislike styrofoam cups at aid stations.
