Swim
  • 04m 41s
  • 437 yards
  • 01m 04s / 100 yards
Comments:

There is no way that my swim time is correct. Given the effort put forth and my knowledge of my own body, a 1:19 pace is ridiculous to even consider. I did win the swim overall, however.
Transition 1
  • 02m 57s
Comments:

Don't put on compression shorts while wet!
Biking shorts only is sufficient. The time spent tying gym shoes in this transition was made up in the second transition.
What would you do differently?:

No compression shorts.
Bike
  • 39m 37s
  • 12.43 miles
  • 18.82 mile/hr
Comments:

A strong showing for having only ridden about 65 miles leading up to the race
Transition 2
  • 00m 32s
Comments:

Wearing running shoes on the bike sped up this transition.
What would you do differently?:

I was slow taking off the helmet. I fiddled with the buckle. I blame it on nerves.
Run
  • 20m 4s
  • 3.11 miles
  • 06m 27s  min/mile
Comments:

This run would have been faster had I not been running by myself. I am not fast while running by myself.
Post race
Warm down:

None

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of training and inexperience.

Event comments:

I destroyed Andy Hoffman on everything.
