Comments:

I realize I do not like swimming in large groups... the bumping, splashing, etc. I will have to get used to that! Overall the swim went much better than I expected and I didn't panic when I got in the water!!
What would you do differently?:

Take a swimming lesson!! I could be so much more efficient out there!
Transition 1
  • 04m 46s
Comments:

I did better on the transition than I thought I would.
What would you do differently?:

I forgot to stretch my legs during transition! I made sure to stretch during T2!!

Comments:

I was very happy that the rain held off. I had to stop once because I thought I had a flat tire... luckily it was fine!
What would you do differently?:

Stretch before the bike.
Transition 2
  • 01m 45s
Comments:

Great transition. I wasn't quite used to getting off the bike and running with it... should have practiced that more!
What would you do differently?:

Practice jumping off and running with the bike.
Run
  • 33m 6s
  • 3.4 miles
  • 09m 44s  min/mile
Comments:

Good run overall. Had a left quad spasm before 2 miles. The back of my left knee kept tightening up. Stopped to stretch 5-6 times. Had a great kick at the end.
What would you do differently?:

Not sure, but wasn't happy with the tightening behind my left knee... could have run much faster if it weren't for that. Otherwise felt great!
