Comments:

Swam first 80-90 yards freestyle too fast due to adrenaline rush of first race and almost ran out of gas. Had to side stroke the remainder of the swim.
What would you do differently?:

Focus more training on the swim aspect. Looking for a tri swim coach during the offseason to help me improve in this area.

Practice transition area routine at home several times to help reduce overall time.

Train harder for hillier course. Lost time and was passed by others on uphill portion.

Comments:

Spent too much time putting on socks and running shoes.

Won't run with socks next time to reduce overall time.

Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

Not adequately prepared for the swim. Need smoother transitions.

Event comments:

This was my first tri ever and the overall experience was great! It was very well organized and the events ran very smoothly. Plenty of water rescue personnel, so I never felt in danger even though I was getting very tired. Definitely plan on doing this race, and any other KLM race next year. I have officially been bitten by the triathlon bug!!
