Pre-race routine:

Event warmup:

Stretched and took a couple hundred yard swim.
Swim

  • 587 yards
  • 01m 52s / 100 yards
Comments:

Swim went better than expected just by remaining calm for the first 1/3. Got really confused by the final buoy, it seemed to be too far to the right, but I saw it early enough to not be too far off.
What would you do differently?:

More swim training to get smoother and more comfortable.
Transition 1
  • 02m 38s
Comments:

Was very deliberate in transition since it was my first time. Too deliberate! Could've went quicker. Hard time getting my suit off and my shoes on.
What would you do differently?:

Practice removing the wetsuit and then sit down to do the shoes. Ideally, get trishoes but that'll be for later.
