Comments: Need to RELAX in water! Should have been an easy swim. Felt panicked, slow, clumsy, breathing short. What would you do differently?: RELAX!!!!! Focus on technique. Better sighting to I don't have to breast stroke. Relax breathing. ![]() Transition 1
Comments: Shoes on before mounting bike..slowed transition. Need to spend less time relaxing in T1. Felt off/sick. Tried to calm nerves/ heart rate. Had part of hammer gel/ water. Problems with wet feet, trying to get cycling socks on. Fumbled. Slow. What would you do differently?: Cycle without socks. Practice shoes on bike/enty on ride. Run with bike. ![]() Bike
Comments: Poor gear changing issues. Think bike needs tune-up, too. Pushed too hard on down hill and straights. Wimped out on hills. What would you do differently?: Work on steady cadence. Work on keeping cadence in harder gears. Remember to drink more! Practice gear changes. ![]() Transition 2
Comments: Felt winded from bike. Serious cramp on right foot instep. Babied R-knee. Took shoes off before transition area so I could run better. Cleats are a problem. What would you do differently?: No socks for this short distance? Practice getting out of shoes prior to dismount line. ![]() Run

Warm down: Gatorade, little stretching, tried to work out foot cramp. Talked to friends. What limited your ability to perform faster: Felt dehydrated/ woozy. Didn't push hard enough.
