 Swim
Comments: this time is including t1... i had thought people were faster so i started swimming in the back... but i had to realize that they were REALLY slow and started passing a lot of them... i was well in the first third but then i got kicked in the ribs and couldn't breathe anymore... i started panicking and decided to breaststroke back to shore :( What would you do differently?: start in the front - now i know that i'd be able to keep up with the pace  Transition 1
Comments: transition times unfortunately are included in the swim and bike times... i was pretty slow... made the mistake of taking off the cap and goggles first and then i was struggling with the wetsuit while i was running towards the bike... tooke me quite a while to get out of the wetsuit and get my bike shoes and helmet on... i double checked if i had everything so it took quite a while... What would you do differently?: hurry up a little... maybe i should practice stuff like getting out of the wetsuit and i should work out a system to place things so i know i didn't forget anything...  Bike
Comments: i kicked ass hehe did an average of 33kph - screwed up my time with t2 though... What would you do differently?: go even faster.. i was a little concerd about the run afterwards so i went slower than i could have... still did pretty good though... Transition 2
Comments: again - took me forever!! had to take everything off, put on my hat, socks (!!!) which alone took me ages, shoes... What would you do differently?: i have to learn to run without socks... that'll save me at least 5 mins  Run
Comments: i wasn't sure how i'd get through the run so i took it VERY slow... i was scared of having to walk where so many people could see it hehe What would you do differently?: run faster!! now i know i can do it!! you're always smarter after it's over :) Post race
Warm down: they welcomed us with (of course) alcohol free beer after the finish line... so i drank my beer and had some fruit after walking it off a little... What limited your ability to perform faster: this being my first triathlon ever and not knowing how i could handle it... Event comments: it was a great race... very well organized, great volunteers... i'll be there again next year again!! Last updated: 2007-06-18 12:00 AM
