Swim
Comments: thought I was having a really solid swim, still am happy with it, but figured I would be faster...still am not sure, but I think my pool swimming is much better than what I'm doing in the open water Transition 1
Comments: I thought I was going to be able to get on the bike quick with my newly practiced technique, but I think I rushed it too much and ended up just throwing my leg over like I always used to. I was apparently the second fastest T1 out there and I didn't really run all that fast from the water to my bike. What would you do differently?: I rode like 3 miles before I got my feet in the shoes. I was going on adrenaline and there were a lot of people around and some hills and turns in the first couple miles that made me decide to wait. Bike
What would you do differently?: I still need to get the bike fitness way up Transition 2
Comments: finally got off the bike looking somewhat like an experienced guy. second fastest T2 Run
Comments: my splits were all over on the run... it took me a while to get comfortable out there and then had trouble staying comfortable. 6:02, 5:26, 5:33, then close to 6 mins What would you do differently?: I'm really not sure. I think the fact that it was a fairly tough run course made me cramp up some. I think I hydrated ok on the bike. Post race
Warm down: didn't do anything really...went and sat to cheer on people coming in after me What limited your ability to perform faster: overall fitness, especially on the bike. Event comments: lots of volunteers on the bike course that made it very easy to follow the course and felt safe...the run course was a different story though...it was kinda lonely out there, wasn't sure where to go at times and started to make a wrong turn at one point because the volunteer wasn't pointing in the right direction.
