Stressful run from the parking lot to the transition area...due to traffic, i was late

Comments:

first time in open water. I found my route to be very curvy. I think having bigger goggles will help me see the bouy and head towards it. Otherwise, swim felt ok.
Transition 1
  • 03m 25s
Comments:

Interesting to try to run right out of the water up a hill. felt ok after a few steps. Could be faster getting shoes on and getting out of there.
What would you do differently?:

Drink more water
Bike
  • 39m 16s
  • 12 miles
  • 18.34 mile/hr
Comments:

Bike went well. Good recovery from swim. Slowed down up hill against the wind. Overall, this is my strongest event.
Transition 2
  • 02m 6s
Comments:

Still getting the hang of transitions. This one felt better than the first. Again, I need to drink more water in the transition.
Run
  • 31m 51s
  • 3.1 miles
  • 10m 16s  min/mile
Comments:

I know what my bad event is! Right out of the transition, my right calf cramped really bad. I had to stop twice to work it out. From there I was able to run it out. Mile two, my stomach began to cramp. THis kept me very slow. I need to stop and drink more water during the run. I would try to drink while moving and couldn't get very much in as would choke on it. In the future, I will stop for the moment, get sufficient water and then continue to run.
Post race
Warm down:

1 mile walk

What limited your ability to perform faster:

water and having been in the mountains the last four weeks before the race - non-tri specific training.

Event comments:

Traffic too and from the race was VERY bad. This kept a lot of athletes from warming up pre race and having to wait around in the parking lot trying to get out.
