Swim
  • 11m 22s
  • 880 yards
  • 01m 17s / 100 yards
Comments:

I'm pretty sure I won the swim but somebody screwed up w/ the timing so it shows somebody with an ungodly 7 minute time. Maybe they went with the wrong heat.
What would you do differently?:

Use anti-fog drops so that my goggles don't fog up by the end. Had difficulty locating the last buoy and going directly in to the transition area.
Transition 1
  • 00m
Comments:

Still don't do the already-clipped shoes thing. Also had a lot of trouble getting wetsuit off while running.
What would you do differently?:

Work on pulling suit off when very tired and while running. Also work on riding w/ feet on shoes.
Bike
  • 45m 42s
  • 12 miles
  • 15.75 mile/hr
What would you do differently?:

Bring my computer! Also work harder at the bike. I was slacking.
Transition 2
  • 00m
Run
  • 37m 7s
  • 4 miles
  • 09m 17s  min/mile
Comments:

Took it way too easy on the run, I'm scared to push my pace without having my computer to tell me how fast I'm going.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around for 15-20 minutes, stretched

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Was sick the night before ,not feeling great on race day, and I forgot my GPS/computer. I've never run or biked without it before especially in a race so I was a bit lost.

Event comments:

They screwed up with the timing so results took a while to show up. I think there is still an error with the swim segment as somebody has a ridiculously fast time and I verified that I was first out of the water in my heat.
