The swim could have been more clearly marked. It was pretty hard to see the course markers while swimming.

Need to work on navigation and practice more open water swimming.

Warm down:

Stretching and a short swim to cool down.

Transitioning and navigation are two clear and easy ways I can improve.

Event comments:

The Carpinteria triathlon was a beautiful course and run fairly well. It was the perfect venue for my first Olympic triathlon. I absolutely recommend it to all new and experienced triathletes.
