Stretched and warmed up in the water for 5 mins

Comments:

Horrible, horrible, horrible swim. Just couldn't get into a routine; ended up breast and side stroking a lot of the course
What would you do differently?:

Need to train a great deal more in the surf.
Transition 1
  • 00m 55s
Comments:

Very happy with transition, 6th in my age group

Not sure, just need to practice a little more I guess

Comments:

Pretty pleased with the bike leg overall. Made up for the horrible swim leg.
What would you do differently?:

Push just a little bit more next time. I had legs left. 22 fewer seconds would have moved me up 2 positions in the age group.
Transition 2
  • 00m 54s
Comments:

Again, happy with transition. Need to work on sock thing though. Was definitely the slow up.
What would you do differently?:

Try training and running this short distance without socks so that next race I can try and go without.
Run
  • 27m 38s
  • 3.7 miles
  • 07m 28s  min/mile
Comments:

Legs did feel like bricks coming off the bike. Took about the first mile almost to loosen up and get into stride but the same appeared to be the case with many others. Happy with the run.
What would you do differently?:

Not much.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked and stretched.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Issues with the swim in the surf. A definite training shortfall.

Event comments:

Not bad for my second triathlon. Enjoyed the race and course, just need to improve my surf swim.
