Comments:

I recorded the fastest swim easily. The next-fastest swimmer was barely under 6min. I felt solid, and saved my legs for the bike. This swim was A+
What would you do differently?:

Well the lady who was timing me didn't get the hell out of the way in time so I had to climb over her, but other than that this was a perfect start to my race!
Transition 1
  • 00m
Comments:

T1 was solid, I even put on socks. I had a primo spot right next to the bike-mount area.

Comments:

Other than the wrong turn, I had a great bike. I kept my HR at/over 80% and really worked the hills well.
What would you do differently?:

Not get lost!!!!!!
Transition 2
  • 00m
Comments:

Another smooth Transition
What would you do differently?:

Nothing- I was quickly in-and-out
Run
  • 19m 15s
  • 3.1 miles
  • 06m 13s  min/mile
Comments:

Solid 5k- I'm happy with my time. My feet were so cold coming off the bike that I could not feel the ball of my foot or my toes until mile 2. This really did a number on my form and ultimately slowed me way down.
What would you do differently?:

Not sure... not feeling my feet was tough to prepare for!
Post race
Warm down:

No warm-down or stretching... bad idea.

Event comments:

Obviously, an arrow or something would have been nice where I took the wrong turn. However, I take responsibility for my F-up, and no hard feelings toward the race directors. They did a great job. Too bad it was so chilly! In the mid-40's coming out of the pool! BRrrrrrrrr!
