Comments:

Felt pretty good overall, worked to get to the front area of the pack so I had more room to manoever but has a few issues determining course. The course has us keeping buoy to the right and because I'm left handed, I breathe more comfortably on the left which made it hard to see the course
What would you do differently?:

I need to be able to follow the course a little more directly. Had some issues seeing where I was going because my goggles were leaking slightly.
Transition 1
  • 00m
Comments:

Got held up by officials leaving the transition area because of olympic distance athletes entering which added 10-15 seconds to my time.

What would you do differently?:

Briefly lost grip on my bike so I need to fix that, and may skip the gloves. Putting them on added a few seconds but they stop my hands from hurting so I will need to decide if it's worth it.

Comments:

Not my fastest ride for sure. Can definitely work to increase speed
What would you do differently?:

I got a little lazy coming up the hills and could have spent some time pushing a little harder up them. Need to get a better water bottle for my bike

Nothing! This one felt good!!

Comments:

I felt tired to start. and really felt slow overall but I picked up by the end.
What would you do differently?:

Keep myself focused and not let my mental game slow me down!

Event comments:

I really enjoyed myself! It was a tough course for a first triathlon due to the hills but everyone was so helpful and I had a really great time.
