Swim
Comments: Not my best swim by far. Decent start, but I started swimming at a 45 degree from the buoy, so I swam farther than I should have. I was still fairly happy with my time out of the water. Not bad for a first race :) What would you do differently?: Freaking learn to swim in a straight line and sight better. Transition 1
Comments: Yikes. This was bad. The run from the swim exit to the transition area was kind of far, but I was really slow getting everything together. I ran with my shoes on and clipped in at the dismount. What would you do differently?: Learn to get in with shoes already clipped in and ride sock less. Bike
Comments: I was really happy with this bike leg. The bridge was insane though! On the flat sections I held about 20-22 mph. Really really happy with this. What would you do differently?: Not much. Transition 2
Comments: I actually clipped out of the bike and ran in with my shoes. Bad decision. I almost took off with my helmet still on my head. I really have to get better at this. What would you do differently?: Get feet out of shoes and ride on top of shoes. Just be faster. Run
Comments: Ehh, this was alright. The first mile was bad. I felt like I was about to puke. Once I got done with 1.5 miles, I started feeling better, and on the last 1.1 miles I really pushed it and felt great. What would you do differently?: Try and ease into the run a little more and consistently get faster, not start off to fast. Post race
Warm down: I drank a decent amount of water, and breakfast. What limited your ability to perform faster: This was my first triathlon, so lack of experience, and I just need to get fitter. Event comments: Fantastic. Last updated: 2014-07-11 12:00 AM

Woke up at 4. Ate a cinnamon sugar bagel with gatorade, and then ate a power bar at 5:30.
No warmup. Just sort of loosened the arms up a bit.
