Comments:

Good swim except for the guy who appeared right underneath me. Started wide and cut over. Could have a quicker pace.
What would you do differently?:

Focus on the turn, I seemed to drift off course. Take a better line.

Comments:

Epic failure, I didn’t check and double check my pedals. Breaks, derailleurs wheels, all checked all well. Pedals, not so much striped my arm at 4 mi.
What would you do differently?:

Check the bike top to bottom, and when I was done, check it again.

Running shoes in T1 huge help. 2nd fastest time behind 0:17

Comments:

good run, felt the pace was good, maybe a little slow.
What would you do differently?:

Faster pace, would like to get to a mid 7's. maybe some interval training.
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

one bike pedal :), Felt the swim and run with T2 were great. Maybe work on T1 and make sure bike is functional.

Event comments:

This was my first Tri, so I don't have any bearing. It was a fantastic experiance, and I will do this one again.
