Comments:

My goal was 17:00, but I got tired and winded about half way through and had to slow down. I'm not sure why I'm so much slower in a race.
What would you do differently?:

I think I'm going to have to over-prepare for swims. I need to be able to comfortably and quickly swim a 1.5k just to race at 750m.
Transition 1
  • 00m
Comments:

Got the suit off fast and the shoes on fast. Unfortunately they didn't time transitions, so I don't really know how fast it was.

Comments:

I feel like I did pretty well keeping my speed high and consistent. The bike felt good, my legs felt good, but I still got passed by more guys than I passed.
What would you do differently?:

It may be time for some aero bars.
Transition 2
  • 00m
Comments:

Got my bike shoes off quick, but I forgot to put the elastic laces on my running shoes, so lacing them up felt like it took a long time.
What would you do differently?:

Remember to put on the elastic laces.
Run
  • 18m 17s
  • 2.3 miles
  • 07m 57s  min/mile
Comments:

I was winded when beginning and my calves were tight, but I settled into a nice rhythm and my calves loosened up and I was able to keep a decent pace.
What would you do differently?:

Just need to keep up with endurance and interval training to bring my time down.
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

The swim.

Event comments:

Overall, I was happy with my time. The swim should have been faster. I hope they do this race again next year because it's small, local, and low-stress.
