Swim
  • 09m 23s
  • 500 meters
  • 01m 53s / 100 meters
Comments:

Water was temperate. Waded start allowed for good separation of competitors. Best time for 500m open water yet.
Transition 1
  • 01m 29s
Comments:

First time with shoes/pedals & tri suit; overall transition was much better than previous attempts due to not using socks and not having to deal with putting a shirt on. Shot blocks may not be the most ideal for transition to bike when moving that fast in transition.
Bike
  • 41m 39s
  • 11.1 miles
  • 15.99 mile/hr
Comments:

Having shoes made it much easier on the course, but lack of training on the bike prevented having a decent performance. With enough training, I can probably cut 5-10 minutes off of bike time.
What would you do differently?:

Train, train, train... after I buy my bike.
Transition 2
  • 01m 4s
Comments:

First time with this type of transition; didn't know exactly how to respond to the situation, but still got out in under a minute.
Run
  • 27m 17s
  • 3.11 miles
  • 08m 46s  min/mile
Comments:

Felt the burn big time up the hills.
What would you do differently?:

Train more hills; work on brick more intensely.
Post race
Warm down:

Slight stretching; orange slice and sports drink. Walked around the finish line area.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

A lack of training time due to operational commitments

Event comments:

Very challenging courses for both bike and run.
