Swim
Comments: I actually came out of the water much faster.. I just thought transition started right when you got out of the water. OOOPS What would you do differently?: I would haul a** when I get out of the water! I added multiple minutes to my actual swim time because of that! Transition 1
Comments: I had to get my head together after the swim and prepare for the bike. This was my first tri and I was very nervous. Also, I don't have cycling soes and I had a lot of trouble getting my shoes on (running shoes).. all a learning experience What would you do differently?: Make sure my shoes are more loosened. I had brought a thing to put water in to get the sand off my feet, but then I didn't fill it up. I think I will bring some of my daughter's baby wipes next time! Bike
Comments: I went really slow because I was afraid I would get pooped on the bridge and not be able to finish. I will go faster next ytime! What would you do differently?: Push harder! Transition 2
Comments: I had to drink more because I didn't drink enough on the bike course.. or maybe too much.. I haven't figured that out yet.. I also was incredibly nauseaus. What would you do differently?: Practice more in terms of bike to run transitions.. so I won't be so nauseaus. Run
What would you do differently?: I really need to work on running more after biking. Also, I need to work on finding a sports bra that doesn't cut off my breathing. Post race
Event comments: It was my first tri and I was really slow because I wanted to finish and have only been training for a couple months (after having a baby and not having ridden a bike in 10 years!). The volunteers on the run course were only in two places (the beginning and the 2 mile)... I followed all the signs I saw and took the direction from the few people.. but did get lost some and there was no one there to help. I crossed the finish line, but when I went by later, it said I didn't finish. My coach called the director and they said I missed a running marker. Next time I am going to push a lot harder because I know I CAN finish and will do much better I am sure. I am sure I'll do much better next time! Last updated: 2008-07-22 12:00 AM
