Personal Best Swim Time
What would you do differently?:

Go faster

Comments:

Someone moved my tri top and when I went to put it on it got stuck and I ended getting it on inside out. Lost two minutes doing that...the rest of the transition was flawless.
What would you do differently?:

Wear the tri top during the swim.

Comments:

Started off think I'm never going to do this, but I stayed strong, passed a few people, but got passed by tons of people. They were just speeding by. Very fast race.
Ironman lapped me twice!
Good posture. Felt good. Could have gone lots faster. Didn't push enough. I still have that mental block.

Personal best on the run, I think.
What would you do differently?:

Push harder. It is a race!
Post race
Warm down:

Smiled a lot.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

mess up with tri top. Lack of water during the run.

Event comments:

Last year I did the swim in 24 and the run in 34, so I think this is an improvement! A personal best even.

Performance: Good
Started out fast, even though I didn't want to. Passed the person in front of me, then slowed down and then got stuck in a log jam with three people directly in front of me. No point in passing. Settled into a routine. Heart rate was pretty high before I got into the water, but that settled too. Breathing was pretty good.
Suit: Craft tri suit
Course: Laps were 50m per length, two lengths per lane, under rope and next lane and continue for the whole width of the pool. Took a while to get used to, but settled. Swim coach Jason was there I could see him motioning for me to stretch out my stroke, which I did.
