Basic stretching.

Comments:

I was absolutely HORRIBLE in the swim. Wow. With this being my first OWS I was shooked at how bad I did. I could not catch my breath at all. I got tired really quick.
What would you do differently?:

More OWS practice.
Transition 1
  • 02m
Comments:

I had one problem. When I pinned my number onto my shirt I went through the back of the shirt with two pins. I could have sworn I checked that. When I tried to put on my shirt to my surprise I couldn't. Got one undone and darnit, another one was through the back.
What would you do differently?:

Double, triple check that the darn pins aren't through the back or just get a belt and pin it to that.

Comments:

I am ok with the bike ride since I picked up my first bike on Saturday. Riding the stationary bike in the gym is no where close to a real bike but overall I am happy.
What would you do differently?:

More riding!
Transition 2
  • 00m 50s
Comments:

Since I don't have clipless pedals I was all ready for the run. All I had to do was rack and remove helmet and I was on my way.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing.
Run
  • 28m 9s
  • 3.1 miles
  • 09m 05s  min/mile
Comments:

I am happy with this time since the bike was my first ride on a bike. A completely different set of muscles were used compared to the stationary bike.
What would you do differently?:

More bricks with my new bike now :-)
Post race
Warm down:

Banana and water then some easy stretching.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I just need to get more practice and continue what I am doing.

Event comments:

I give it best just because it was my first. The one I will always remember.
