Comments:

Great swim! Nice and calm, avoided kicking and/or getting kicked. Nice and clean and better than my last time.
What would you do differently?:

Train more. I've been swamped at work and kind of feeling unmotivated, which has probably cost me.
Transition 1
  • 01m 47s
Comments:

I'll focus on cutting down my transition time in the future now that I know the routine. Anywhere to shave off some minutes/seconds.

Comments:

I love my bike.
Transition 2
  • 01m 27s
Comments:

I don't do flying mounts and dismounts. And again, now that I've got the basics down, maybe I can start thinking about reducing my transition time. It always seems like under a minute when I'm actually doing it...
Run
  • 28m 18s
  • 3.2 miles
  • 08m 50s  min/mile
Comments:

This is my downfall, but I shaved off at least five minutes from my last time. And last time was on a flat course! A lot of it was mental--just telling myself that it was OK if I got passed and encouraging myself that I was at a good pace for me and I could do it.
What would you do differently?:

Train!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, I still dislike running and yes, it (coupled with my lack of motivation of late) has caused me to avoid running, which has caused me to still be a bad runner. I take full responsibility. It is my fault that I am a crappy athlete.
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

Mentality. Always comparing myself to others. There was a marked improvement over previous races, but it is still a concern.
And lack of training, especially in running.

Event comments:

Loved this race! Volunteers were very helpful. And I respected the stringency of the race rules.

Performance:

Course: Hills! With every up there was a down. It was good, and I'm glad I was at least prepared for some elevation change. Somewhere along the line I got a penalty, but I can't figure out where (not listed in the results). I assume it was getting off the bike, but I thought I got off before the dismount line. Maybe that was the problem. Should I have been exactly on the dismount line? Anyway, my time was 1:23:12 with the penalty. I'm pretty upset with myself that I got a penalty.
