![]() Swim
Comments: First open water swim ever, didnt know what to expect. stayed back and to the outside. went well, after first turn got comfortable and got in a rythm. swam smooth and was very happy with passing some people. What would you do differently?: go out harder, more confident now. ![]() Transition 1
Comments: first transition ever. was just happy to get up that big hill. learned a lot. What would you do differently?: go faster and smoother next time. ![]() Bike
Comments: borrowed a 1997 hybrid bike. was rough not smooth. course was decent pretty challenging. definitely need at least an entry level road bike. got a flat at the end of course. What would you do differently?: buy a road bike. train more on bike. ![]() Transition 2
Comments: good on this one felt pretty good. still very slow for a t2 but i wasn't trying to win this thing. What would you do differently?: go faster. ![]() Run
Comments: ITBS flared and i shut it down. wanted to finish but not do any damage. shut it down about 1 mile in. walked most of the rest of the way. dissapointed but it happens. What would you do differently?: stretch more prior to event. train more for run and get itbs treated at a specialty clinic. ![]() Post race
Warm down: great set up of food and drink. pictures and hugs with family. What limited your ability to perform faster: ITBS flaring in my right knee Event comments: will do it again next year. had a good time. good race for a 1st timer. Last updated: 2012-09-12 12:00 AM
