Comments:

tried to stay at the back of the group to avoid the crowd, but found I was catching up with others. eventually went wide to get to open water
What would you do differently?:

not be afraid to hold a position in the pack
Transition 1
  • 04m 36s
Comments:

did not focus on transitions, but there is lots of room for improvement after my first try.
What would you do differently?:

get my own bike shoes so I don't need socks. consider clipping shoes in and strapping in while riding. PRACTICE!
Bike
  • 38m 43s
  • 11 miles
  • 17.05 mile/hr
Comments:

Did not push too hard on the bike, but was getting consistently passed. felt good on the aero bars.
What would you do differently?:

leave the camelbak behind, since the water stations were easily enough for the sprint distance.
Transition 2
  • 02m 52s
Comments:

couldn't get the bike back on the rack (lol!) otherwise pretty smooth w/o any significant practice.
What would you do differently?:

again, transitions weren't my focus, but practice would make a big difference.
Run
  • 23m 8s
  • 3.1 miles
  • 07m 28s  min/mile
Comments:

felt great and had plenty of gas after the bike. was able to regain a few places against people in my wave and finish strong
What would you do differently?:

have the grit to really sprint at the finish
Post race
Warm down:

walk around, rehydrate and stretch. ate a little, but not much.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

1st time, so experience and speed in the swim / bike segments were the limiters.

Event comments:

1st race and I'm hooked! Back for Oly next year, and hopefully more!
