Swim
  • 00m
  • 375 meters
  • / 100 meters
Comments:

I'm not that good of a swimmer. I'm tall so I bounced and hopped off the bottom alot. Good way to cut up your feet like I did.
What would you do differently?:

Swim. I have to practise a swimming stroke because I have nothing much.
Transition 1
  • 00m
Comments:

Had a great transition, everything was smooth.
What would you do differently?:

Maybe a one piece suit to avoid putting on a shirt. Would be ideal since it would be tighter fitting on the bike.

Comments:

I got passed about 10 times on the bike. I just couldn't keep up on my mountain bike. I trained with the same pace I raced at and still couldn't keep close.
What would you do differently?:

Get a new bike. :-)
Transition 2
  • 00m
Comments:

Another quick transition, I was in and out quick to the run.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing.
Run

  •  min/km
Comments:

I was very tired. Passed 5-6 people on the run. Was close to giving up and walking near the end, but made it through. Got passed once on the last homestretch.
What would you do differently?:

I'm not sure. Maybe not think about giving up because that should NEVER be an option.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

My bike and my inability to swim.

Event comments:

It's really a great race. I had lots of fun. It was my first ever try at a tri so it will be the one I remember. Can't wait to tri again.
