Swim
  • 05m 57s
  • 250 yards
  • 02m 23s / 100 yards
Comments:

I did not feel good in the swim this time, I swam slower than even my practice times. I think being cold and not being able to warm up significantly made it difficult to have a good swim. This swim was more difficult than longer swims I've done.
What would you do differently?:

Try to warm up better.
Transition 1

Comments:

Even colder getting out of the pool than getting into it which just made everything more difficult. I was happy with it overall, a little slower than ideal.
What would you do differently?:

Practice more

Felt great, impressed myself with my speed. It was nice to see all the hard work riding into headwinds was worth it since I managed my fastest average speed with no wind on race day.
What would you do differently?:

Work on form
Transition 2
  • 01m 3s
Comments:

Got confused when exiting transition area and had to run back through the transition area to the run exit.
What would you do differently?:

Look to see where the run exit is before the race.

Event comments:

It was a good race, overall well organized. The vendors after the race were helpful and nice. I enjoyed this race much more than my first race (Cooper Sprint Tri). If I wasn't moving I would like to do more of the Dallas Athletes races.
