Comments:

Coldest swim I have ever done. Started swimming faster than planned in attempt to generate some heat. Once I got about 50 yards out it seemed to warm up a bit and I slowed down caught my breath and seemed to get into a steady pace.
What would you do differently?:

lose 20 pounds and buy a new wet suit.
Transition 1
  • 06m 26s
Comments:

Long bike run out of transition. Got on the bike and chain jumped off the small ring on first rotation . Before mounting and placing in small gear, I must not have spun the chain enough. Got it back on pretty quick, but when I started biking about a half mile in i noticed my computer for some reason was off. Had to turn it back on. Must of hit it off accidentally while fixing the chain.
What would you do differently?:

Spin a couple more rotations after setting the ring in transition.

Being a little too large, and missing quite a few of the last 2 weeks of workouts due to work.
