Comments:

I was trying to stay nice and slow... for my first olympic swim. I did that... but maybe stayed a little too slow. I felt great and comfortable the entire way.
What would you do differently?:

Maybe pick up the pace a little more... but now I know.
Transition 1
  • 02m 46s
Comments:

Pretty good transition... I have a new bike computer and its located on the bike stem. While running with the bike the computer popped off into the grass. I had to stop, go back, and find it. Popped it back on...
What would you do differently?:

Will not push the bike by the stem.

Maybe saved a little too much for the run here too. I think I could have pushed a little harder. Better safe than sorry on my first one.
What would you do differently?:

Push it a little more.

uneventful...

Comments:

Felt pretty good the first 2 miles... after the hills I really hit the wall. I felt like I was draggin my feet the final 2 miles. I am not too upset with my overall pace... just the final 3 miles after the hills.

Event comments:

Good race for my first olympic distance... I was right about where I wanted to be. Was hoping for a little faster bike time... but I can see where I was slower than expected.
