  • 300 yards

Comments:

Cluster F**K of swim start organization meant having to start near the back and having to fight through the pool which no doubt cost me time.
Transition 1
  • 01m 39s
Comments:

Cold transition, but it was quicker than I thought.
Bike
  • 45h 55m 9s
  • 13 miles
  • 0.28 mile/hr
Comments:

Not a bad bike ride. I did stop about 5 miles in to help one of the para-triathletes fix his bike, which cost me a few minutes but helping out was more important than the time lost.
Transition 2
  • 01m 23s
Run
  • 30m 32s
  • 3.1 miles
  • 09m 51s  min/mile
Comments:

Possibly the steepest hill run I have ever had to do.
Post race
Warm down:

Milkshake - Strawberry.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Had a pretty nice head cold from dealing with the local flooding which slowed me down. Plus helping out the biker on course during the race lost me a bit of time.

Event comments:

For a first race of the year it was a good guide to see where else I need to work on.

However - this was by far the worst organized race I have ever done, and thankfully I am not registered to do another race this year by these organizers.
