Event warmup:

Got in the water (first time OWS). After initial cold water shock and some warm up I was as ready as i was going to be.
Swim
  • 07m 56s
  • 200 yards
  • 03m 58s / 100 yards
Comments:

Very choppy for first OWS, ended up backstroke and breast stroke for most of it since I was getting a mouthful of water every time I tried to freestyle.
What would you do differently?:

More OWS practice.
Transition 1
  • 02m 25s
Comments:

Trouble with getting vetwrap off my foot (had to cover it in the swim due to an injury and socks were sticking to feet.) Also forgot to loosen velcro in shoes during setup.
What would you do differently?:

Practice transition and maybe learn to leave shoes on bike, I have trouble clipping in after the mount line.
Bike
  • 23m 41s
  • 8 miles
  • 20.27 mile/hr
Comments:

Good bike, didn't push it too hard because the bike course was crowded and alot of people were not staying to the right. Some of the corners were a bit tight to be able to pass on.

What would you do differently?:

Sharper turns and cornering practice.
Transition 2
  • 01m 15s
Comments:

Still need to switch shoe laces to different speed laces for faster transition.
What would you do differently?:

Not too much, maybe learn to take feet out of shoes while on the bike.
Run
  • 22m 16s
  • 2 miles
  • 11m 08s  min/mile
Comments:

Still had to stop to pee on the run course, HR kept going too high but I was taking shorter steps due to a hamstring injury.
Post race
Warm down:

Got a 5 min massage for my hamstrings and iced knee.

Event comments:

Great race!
