What would you do differently?:

more consistency with stroke - too many breaks into breast stroke caused my time to slow down.
Transition 1
  • 06m 54s
Comments:

Took too long to rest and catch my breath. Could have cut the transition time in half if I had not stopped so long.
What would you do differently?:

More focus on the transition and less on resting

Comments:

Hit the wall after the bike transition - first mile very tough; walked the entire mile. Mile 2 and 3 were run/walk in the beginning then running strong the last 1/2 mile to finish.
What would you do differently?:

Train more for running! Weak sport keeping my overall time down. Work on transitions/brick training
Post race
Warm down:

Stretching/rest

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Running

Event comments:

Parking was a big problem - with 4,000 competitors they tried to collect fees for parking. Big mistake caused them delay of start times by over 20 min.
