Pretty choppy water, caught a few waves in the mouth when I breathed to the left.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing
Transition 1
  • 00m
Comments:

I didn't have my Garmin on, so I didn't catch transition times.
What would you do differently?:

Comments:

Decent bike for the 3rd time on my tri bike. I think it's set up pretty well. I just wish the bike lane didn't have a rumble strip on one side, since I had to cross it every time I passed someone.
What would you do differently?:

Ride on the road the whole time instead of bothering with the bike lane.
Transition 2
  • 00m
Comments:

Someone racked their MTB right on top of my transition area, so I had to move it to get to my stuff. Other than that, I did ok with the transition.
What would you do differently?:

Stake out my place at the end of a rack instead of the middle.
Run

  • 4 miles
  • 09m 18s  min/mile
Comments:

Horrible pace for me, but what can I expect after not being able to run for 2 weeks? My knee and foot feel better now, though, so I'll be back in my running shoes this week.
What would you do differently?:

Run more beforehand, but that wasn't so much a choice as a necessity. I WANT to run!
Post race
Warm down:

Went to find my friends, got water, etc.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Wind, being unable to run due to injury

Event comments:

Great, put-together race. Also great prizes, even though I didn't get one...they gave out travel coffee mugs! Good food afterward, too!
