Comments:

Was a slow start, I should of gone up front for it but it was my first time so I didn't know. Anyways I had to wait a good 50 meters before I could get out and swim cause there were some slow people infront of me. Someone behind me just about ripped my chip off my ankle!
What would you do differently?:

Start at the front of the wave instead of at the back of the pack.

Comments:

Don't have a transition time its tacked onto the other times, they didn't separate it. Good transition though, was a little slow cause I wanted to put a shirt and socks on but it all went smoothly.
What would you do differently?:

not add so many clothes on after swimming.

Comments:

Was a good ride, was never able to catch my breath after the swim though.
What would you do differently?:

Not get stuck behind a slow chick at the turn around point. It caused a traffic jam. Don't drink so much poweraid, gave me an upset stomach.
Transition 2
  • 00m
Comments:

Was a good transition, didn't have much to do. Had a little trouble getting the bike on the rack but I got that down now so I don't think it will be a problem in the future.
What would you do differently?:

nothing.

Comments:

Was really hard to get going, couldn't catch my breath. But after 500 m in something clicked and it just started to feel comfortable.
What would you do differently?:

Buy new shoes!
Post race
Warm down:

Stand under shower provided and a little walking around.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

My lower back and hips seized up again at the end of the run. Gotta get that fixed and need to buy new shoes.

Event comments:

Great race for a first time. The course was nice and flat and not intimidating. As well the shorter event is on a saturday whereas the pros come out on the sunday so us newbies had the day to ourselves.
