I don't have enough time to focus on swimming as this is the event that I feel the most confident with given that I have very little time in the pool, so with that said I was very pleased with my time.

Get more time in the pool, once a week would be an improvement.

I really tried to go faster in transition and I did make about a minute and a half improvement over my Danskin T1, but it still seems like I am pretty slow comparitively.

Not sure, maybe I should cut out gloves or something to help my time.

I was feeling GREAT for the first five miles of the bike and my avg speed was about 19.5, then I had a flat and lost over ten minutes trying to change it myself, failing and then finally having the sag wagon come by to help me. By that point, I was so discouraged and frustrated and really thought that it might be the end of my race because I couldn't change the tire (I tried, but couldn't get the tire off).

Not get a flat or at least learn how to change one.

This was a better time for me, but still could work on speeding up

Overall I felt great on the run, I think I could have even pushed it a bit harder, but I was trying to watch my HR and not let it get too high.

Found Doug, got something to drink and then hung out with the BT group. I had a great time meeting some new folks and putting faces with screen names. It is nice to know people at the event.


Overall I was really pleased with my race, but wished I could have avoided the flat. It was mentally draining as I really was frustrated by not being able to change it on my own. At the end of the race I felt like I had plenty of gas in the tank and feel much more confident about the half


I enjoyed the race and especially liked Tom's sense of humor as RD.
