I picked up quite a few places here after my slow swim start. Did great on the downhills and flat sections only to suffer on the hills!
What would you do differently?:

Need to continue to work on climbing hills at a good cadence

Comments:

Did not get feet out of shoes before dismount line like I wanted to which made me slip and slide when trying to run up the hill into the bike rack area in my cleats!
What would you do differently?:

Work on dismount sequence ang getting out of bike shoes sooner

Comments:

Run was'nt as fast as I had hoped for but one the bright side, I didn't walk once while others around me were!
What would you do differently?:

Work on getting my legs to turn over faster and not give in so easily.
Post race
Warm down:

Tried to find Gail and she wasn't at the finish line area. Got bike and gear and packed up van for trip home!

Event comments:

Great volunteers and people on the course were friendly. As this was my first triathlon, I don't have anything to compare it to but had a blast!
