Comments:

First open water swim. Breast stroked most first half and then free styled mostly at end. Need to work on looking forward when free styling.
What would you do differently?:

Practice looking forward during swim. Next open water swim should be better.
Transition 1
  • 04m 5s
Comments:

Fist 100 yards took forever to get my shoes to snap on bike.

Thought my swim sucked so I didn't car about transition time. Next Time I can probably cut down a good 1-2 minutes.

Fist 100 yards took forever to get my shoes to snap on bike.
What would you do differently?:

Good race with hills. Need to train more. One spot hill killed my legs and I was going 9 miles an hour, when I got to level ground I still couldn't move legs for a while to get up to good speed.
Transition 2
  • 01m 30s
Comments:

Not much to improve. I could probably cut another 20 seconds off this.
Run
  • 36m 23s
  • 5 miles
  • 07m 17s  min/mile
Comments:

First mile slow and it felt like my legs would cramp up. They finally felt good and I booked the last 4 miles.
What would you do differently?:

Run faster. I didn't want to burn my self out but I had lots of energy still at the end.
Post race
Warm down:

I just stretched and walked

What limited your ability to perform faster:

First open water swim. It was freaky.

Event comments:

Good race for training and beginners. It was my first swim and was good to try for a first swim. Biking and running are very hilly so it is good to test where you are in your training this early in the season.
