  • 547 yards
  • 01m 59s / 100 yards
Comments:

Started in the back of the pack and it was very hard to get around anyone. Got pulled under and swallowed a bunch of water and lost my stroke, took a few seconds to recover. The last 200m were hard since I ran into the open division people and couldn't get around.
What would you do differently?:

Start further up front in the pack, I could have done this swim much faster--1 to 1:30 faster
Transition 1
  • 02m 1s
Comments:

Put socks on, shoes, shirt, helmet, glasses.
What would you do differently?:

Maybe get a tri suit next time, would save putting the shirt on. Maybe learn how to run/bike without socks?

Comments:

The ride was uneventful, didn't seem like 48 mins. Nice huge downhill at the very end!
What would you do differently?:

A few hills I should have pushed it more.
Transition 2
  • 01m 19s
What would you do differently?:

Took a bit long to get shoes off.
Run
  • 27m 54s
  • 3 miles
  • 09m 18s  min/mile
Comments:

Started out way too slow, didn't realize how slow. Getting a new watch.
What would you do differently?:

Stop being such a pussy and run faster
Post race
Warm down:

none

Event comments:

Seemed there weren't enough port-a-potties. The lines were huge before the race
