Walls took a lot of time and it got crowded quickly. I do much better with flip turns.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing. It's the only safe way to run a race in an indoor pool with 300 participants.
Transition 1
  • 00m
Comments:

I wasn't rushing at all. Wanted to make sure I didn't forget anything. Put on my shorts backwards over my wet suit. That must have looked funny!
What would you do differently?:

Put my shorts on correctly. Oh, and get a one-piece tri suit so I don't have to deal with putting clothes on when wet.

My worst leg. Crashed in a tri when I was a kid, so I'm still very hesitant on the bike.

Ride, ride, ride. Need to get comfortable again.

Brick training. Drink more.

Just a tune-up to give me an idea of how much more I need to train for the Iron Girl in August.
