Swim
Comments: swim overall 166/389, female overall 47/147 What would you do differently?: Must figure out anxiety driven hyper-ventilation :( Took until I reached 2/3-3/4 distance before breathing regulated. Transition 1
Comments: always use deoderant. What would you do differently?: want to try clipping shoes on bike and jumping into them. means riding with no socks, ick. This race I took a little longer sitting due to swim breathing issues as I felt slow. Bike
Comments: female rank 60/148, overall (men and women individual) 243/389 What would you do differently?: could have increased speed a little more and maintained for route. Want to improve mount/dismount. Transition 2
Comments: non-remarkable. poured water over my head! that felt great and worth the time. What would you do differently?: not much. but want to improve time, not sure where from. Run
Comments: female rank 68/147, overal men/women individual 222/389. breathing was great. What would you do differently?: need to improve speed now - power. this will improve my time. Post race
Warm down: walk around, drink protein and water, sit, rest in shade, walk around What limited your ability to perform faster: myself. 1. if breathing is under control, i think i could have beat swim time 1-2 minutes. 2. would like to have HRM which helps me push myself harder on bike and Cadence meter didn't sync until after first 7 miles so was listening to body rather than numbers - this slowed me down cause I push myself based on numbers. 3. don't text while running! that slows me down but was only about 30 seconds. Need to push myself power-wise with running to gain a little more time. Event comments: tons of volunteers - THANK YOU!!!!, fun atmosphere. The swim start was a little confusing as they said we'd start based on time within age group, but they announced folks just to form a line.Bike and Run paths marked very well with humnas!!! I'm doing this again next year! Thanks New Town! Last updated: 2014-07-10 12:00 AM
