Comments:

I was very apprehensive about the swim. I was confident I could complete it but I kept thinking about the rough time I had at the last race in San Diego. Plus, this was my first time swimming in the ocean. I was very pleased with my swim leg, felt great at the end of it and was comfortable the entire time.
What would you do differently?:

Maybe pick up the pace.
Transition 1
  • 03m 27s
Comments:

I was slow during the transition, I probably could have saved a minute by moving faster here. I was more concerned with a smooth transition than with time.
What would you do differently?:

Just pick up the pace.
Bike

Comments:

I went hard here, maybe a bit too hard. I wanted a strong ride, but I didn't have much left for the run.
What would you do differently?:

Not sure, maybe ease up a bit.
Transition 2
  • 02m 26s
Comments:

Slow transition here as well.
What would you do differently?:

Pick up the pace, practice more.
Run
  • 31m 58s
  • 3.1 miles
  • 10m 19s  min/mile
Comments:

I had nothing left for this, I was tight, tired, and slow. Very disappointing.
What would you do differently?:

I need more miles!
Post race
Warm down:

Walk, walk, walk.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Uncertainty.

Event comments:

Course was tough, much more so than the last Tri, but not too hard.
