slowest transition, but that was part of my plan... to take it easy this race since it was my first olympic. in hindsight, i should have hurried up a bit more!

less chit chat and get on bike faster.

was conservative on bike b/c not familiar with course and wanted to save my legs before run since i have never done olympic distance before. i probably should have stepped it up a little more.
What would you do differently?:

faster

Comments:

again took my time in transition b/c just wanted to enjoy experience of first oly and not stress.

could have gone faster through transition obviously

Event comments:

this is such a great race. i'm so glad i chose it for my first olympic! great people (volunteers and racers), beautiful setting and very well organized. it's a smaller sized race and has a local vibe. i just loved it, such a great experience!! i might have to do it again! :)
