  • 750 meters
  • 02m 25s / 100 meters
Comments:

Swam breast stroke for the entire course. This was my first attempt and I did not know how to do any other stroke. Also had issues with other swimmers cutting in front of me repeatedly.
What would you do differently?:

Will learn how to do front crawl.
Transition 1
  • 04m 53s
Comments:

Terrible transition. Could not get shirt on, bib kept getting tangled and started to pull off. Was not able to get socks on properly.
What would you do differently?:

Use a tri-suit so that I do not need to put a shirt on. Get a bib belt. Not wear socks for the ride. Replace shoes. Clip in shoes and put them on after getting on the bike.
Bike
  • 40m 57s
  • 20 kms

Comments:

Ride felt good. Need some equipment changes.
What would you do differently?:

Need a way to measure speed, cadence. Need to switch rims to something that can handle a thinner race tire (currently riding a cyclocross bike which can only handle a 28. Need to add tri-bars. Ultimately need a tri-bike, but not for now.
Transition 2
  • 01m 52s
What would you do differently?:

Replace laces with "elastic" laces

  • 27m 44s
  • 5 kms
  • 05m 33s  min/km
Comments:

Good run, but left a lot on the table... could have gone faster, but had no feel for my pace.
What would you do differently?:

Get a device for measuring pace.

Event comments:

This was my first tri, so I don't have much to compare, but it seemed to be quite well run. It was perfect weather for the race.
