15 minute jog
Swim

  • 250 yards
  • 01m 34s / 100 yards
Comments:

Hard to pass people. When passing, had to dodge oncoming traffic. Pool choppy and random I breathed in a lot of water.
What would you do differently?:

Not much I could do, just really crowded and hard to pass.
Transition 1
  • 01m 19s
Comments:

Took me a bit to get my dang foot in the slip on pedal thing.
What would you do differently?:

Get my dang foot in the slip on pedal thing faster.
Bike
  • 58m 36s
  • 16 miles
  • 16.38 mile/hr
Comments:

Self conscious about passing someone and then having them pass me soon after. I braked a lot in order to avoid passing someone on the downhill.
What would you do differently?:

I will not be so courteous next time. I will pass when I can and if they get a second wind 5 seconds later to pass me, so be it.
Transition 2
  • 00m 42s
Comments:

Not having to change shoes was nice. I still don't have bike shoes. Racked my bike slow. Probably backwards.
Run
  • 28m 17s
  • 3.11 miles
  • 09m 05s  min/mile
Comments:

I was already sort of tired from the bike and the inclines were not a happy surprise. Took a steady pace and didn't try to kill myself until I hit the home stretch.
What would you do differently?:

Train for more endurance!!!
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

Bad endurance.

Event comments:

It was my first race and I'll probably never forget it. I had a great time!
