Get better at swimming.

Good typical T1

Comments:

The bike was fun, although I took it out a little bit too hard on the first loop and faded on the second.
What would you do differently?:

I would pace better and, actually, I would go a little harder overall. I was not fatigued enough for the run.
Transition 2
  • 00m 51s
Comments:

I messed this up. I attempted to ride with my feet on top of my shoes, but I touched one shoe to the ground and it unclipped. I had to stop, get off my bike, run back and pick it up.
What would you do differently?:

Practice T2 dismount

What would you do differently?:

Go out a little bit harder, a little bit gutsier.
Post race
Warm down:

Easy jog followed by gorgefest at the food booth.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

My stupid swimming skills.

Event comments:

A really fun race that is very well-run. The awards ceremony was a little late and a little long.
