Swim
Comments: Swim went pretty well. Felt really calm through the whole thing really wish I could have been better about sighting more as I kept getting of course. Had a decent run back to transition after the swim as well. What would you do differently?: Practice sighting more so I can stay on course. Push a little harder I'm pretty sure I could have done this faster. Transition 1
Comments: Pretty easy T1 but my bike gloves slowed me down a bit. Overall I wish I was faster. What would you do differently?: Practice transitions more. Bike
Comments: Took off good but damn my legs were tired from the beginning. Not sure why but I had a rough time. Still pretty happy with my time, just wish my legs would have felt better. My stomach started bothering me 3/4 of the way in so I stopped eating jellybeans and drinking. Probably drank too much too soon who knows. Easy dismount, walk to transition. What would you do differently?: Drink less at the beginning of the ride. Ride more at race pace before the race. Just bike more! Transition 2
Comments: Really uneventful just got my heels suck in my running shoes a bit besides that went pretty good. Run
Comments: Overall my time wasn't that horrible considering my best 5k this year is 35min or so. Had to walk a lot more than I would have liked. The course was on the trails which since I'm not 100% comfortable running on trails felt like another thing to have to deal with being nervous about tripping on roots. It was nice to be on the trails and in the shade though. What would you do differently?: Run more especially on trails. Post race
Warm down: walked around a bit, stretched a tiny bit, drank a bunch of water, ate a few oranges, a slice of pizza and then out for breakfast. What limited your ability to perform faster: Mentally but also pushing myself more in training I think. Event comments: Great race, TRIMOM always does a good job, wish they had a few copies of the race results printed post race. Really like this event but it was my first tri so not a lot to compare to.
