Comments:

Well organized
Big difference between swimming 25M laps and 50M laps
What would you do differently?:

Need to improve straight line swimming range without breaks
Need to develop ability to turn underwater for pool swims
Transition 1
  • 03m 52s
Comments:

First race so I was not too focused on the time I took to get in and out of the bike area.
What would you do differently?:

Need to pratice a bit more for this and have HR monitor strap on in the pool.

Comments:

The hills in the middle really wore me out. I did not train on the bike before this race. I did the course in the time I had thought I would.
What would you do differently?:

Need to get a road bike. Hybrid was not able to keep up the pace.

Comments:

This transition went well.
What would you do differently?:

Not too much right now.

Comments:

Vols everywhere encouraging you!
Great job.
I did finish in the amount of time I thought it would take me.

What would you do differently?:

Need to train for longer distances. 3 Miles was my training distance and so I did not have much left, even less after the bike.
Post race
Warm down:

Seeing my kids at the finish line was a big boost!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Just need more training.
