Swim
  • 17m 58s
  • 750 meters
  • 02m 24s / 100 meters
Comments:

swimming in a pool where you can see the bottom is nice but i think i like OW better because i can pull to the side of the pack and swim at my own pace without bumping into legs.
What would you do differently?:

be in front of the pack so i don't get kicked as much and be able to be quicker. I know i can do better than that. But having to slow my rythm helped me have energy for the run at the end
Transition 1

Comments:

i can't do the tri-style transition...will have to get a bike fit for me and practice
What would you do differently?:

change bike, practice transitions
