Comments:

Seems like I go out too fast (everybody did). Its hard for me to get the right pace. Also so many swimmers in the water. I feel like this should have been at least 60" faster for me
What would you do differently?:

Let those guys go at the start then build my pace. My pace overall was way to slow (except at the start)
Transition 1
  • 02m 43s
Comments:

Wow I thought I was faster than this
What would you do differently?:

I am not sure

Transition 2
  • 02m 15s
Comments:

My spot had been taken when I go back to transition. That flustered me a bit.
What would you do differently?:

Rack my bike in a different spot and not worry about it
Run
  • 26m 15s
  • 3.1 miles
  • 08m 28s  min/mile
Comments:

Lots of room for me to improve here. Not knowing the course hurt me. Left too much on the table. Finish was strong.
What would you do differently?:

Run the course before race day to know where I am at on it.
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

Not being familiar with running course
Not pushing the swim. I swam a 900 in practice faster than that. I was cold before the race with no wetsuit.

Event comments:

I like the big races. Riding on the bridge was great. Riding in the tunnel was a riot (never done that before). The little hill on run was hard on me but was fun. Noticed it was also hard on other runners. Loaded up on free stuff after the race and then re give most of it. Overall super fun!
