Swam briefly in warm-up pool.
Swim

Comments:

Much harder than anticipated in first triathlon. Had trouble breathing after 150 m and resorted to resting at pool ends and backstroking to get through it.
What would you do differently?:

More practice and more races.
Transition 1
  • 02m 44s
Comments:

Was disoriented from poor pool swim. Took way too long in transition. Need to improve swim.
What would you do differently?:

Practice and get better at swim.

Felt like a good first bike leg.
What would you do differently?:

Need a better start out of T1. Took some time to get into the pedals.

Run
  • 23m 16s
  • 5 kms
  • 04m 41s  min/km
Comments:

Run felt good. Didn't pace as well as I could have as I didn't know how long each lap was.
What would you do differently?:

Pace better.
Post race
Warm down:

Waited for Kristen to finish race and ate post-race food.

Event comments:

This was a good first race. Now that I've done one, I know what to expect and what to improve upon. Swim needs work, as does T1. Will continue to work.
