Beautiful venue for a swim, though the water was a little shallow at points. Very clear water--amazing. My swim was ok; I think I'm just kind of slow. This was my first Olympic, so I tried to take it easy. I was out of the water at 36:45 or so...
What would you do differently?:

Not much. I kept up a good pace for me.
Transition 1
  • 03m 42s
Comments:

I took my time in the T1, since this was my first OLY and I wanted to actually rest. Normally I'm in the top 25% in T1, but not this time...
What would you do differently?:

Nothing.

Pretty good ride. I didn't push it all out, as I wasn't sure what to expect in my first OLY, and wanted to save something for the run. Overall I felt strong, good on the hills. I probably could have shaved a couple minutes off the time at least.
Transition 2
  • 02m 59s
Comments:

Again, took it easy here and rested a bit before the run. Was a very slow T2 for me, I think 42nd out of 48.

Comments:

Just really took it easy, as I had no idea how I'd handle the distance. Felt pretty good, was able to pick it up a bit for the last 1.5 miles.
What would you do differently?:

Not much. Next time I'll be able to push it more.

Event comments:

My first OLY. Felt good. I took time to rest during the transitions, so that cost me 3-4 minutes, but the bottom line is that my swim and runs are slow. Lots of room for improvement!
