Pre-race routine:

A lot of panicking and freaking out.
Swim
  • 29m 20s
  • 766 yards
  • 03m 50s / 100 yards
What would you do differently?:

Practice more in open water! I was totally hyperventilating and floated on my back for most of the swim.

  • 06m 37s
Comments:

I was almost run over by the first wave of men returning from their bike segment, I had to dodge them coming out of T1.
What would you do differently?:

Not chat with husband, get stuff more organized! Hopefully I won't be dizzy next time after swimming.

  • 14 miles
  • 14.89 mile/hr
Comments:

Bike was ok, by the time I got ON my bike I had the whole course to myself (because my swim took so long, there were only 2 people behind me, and we were the last wave of the race).
What would you do differently?:

Push myself harder. There wasn't anyone to compete with so I think I just took my time.
Transition 2
  • 05m 29s
Comments:

Took too much time again chatting with husband, plus the fact I had to adjust the laces on the shoes. I FORGOT my shoes in Phoenix (?!!) so he had to run to Walmart and buy me brand new shoes while I was swimming. Ugh.
What would you do differently?:

Not forget my shoes, get quick pull laces, and just TRY to hurry.
Run
  • 37m 55s
  • 3.11 miles
  • 12m 11s  min/mile
What would you do differently?:

Push myself harder. I walked more than I needed to.
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

Panic, nervousness.
