 		Total Time = 1h 35m 44s
Overall Rank = 263/610
Age Group = 35-39
Age Group Rank = 33/40
Swim
  • 12m 39s
  • 656 yards
  • 01m 56s / 100 yards
What would you do differently?:

Site better next time. Sited too infrequently and went off course at least 3 times.
Transition 1
  • 03m 29s
What would you do differently?:

Couldn't get out of the main transition area. Fairly steep incline to get on the course. Also, forgot to unstrap my shoes so lost at least 20-30 seconds getting them undone.
Bike
  • 50m 46s
  • 15 miles
  • 17.73 mile/hr
What would you do differently?:

Hit the hills much harder. Especially going out. And up the cadence going out. Gears were way too big and had a hard time getting the blood pumping.
Transition 2
  • 01m 14s
What would you do differently?:

Still running with socks. Adds too much time. Am working on running without socks. Also forgot my running hat.
Run
  • 27m 59s
  • 3.1 miles
  • 09m 02s  min/mile
What would you do differently?:

Probably go out a bit faster. I was a little anxious about cramping so I held back a bit.
Post race
Warm down:

Stretched and ate fruit and bagel.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Swim and run. I'll site better next time, since this was my first open water swim. And I'll probably take off a bit faster in the run, now that I know taking enough water will help me not cramp up.

Event comments:

Lots of fun. Will definitely do next year because it was so well run.
