Comments:

Still can't swim straight. I didn't train enough for the swim.
What would you do differently?:

I need to learn to draft and navigate.
Transition 1
  • 02m 18s
Comments:

I didn't run very well with the bike. I tried to get on it too early, and had to get off and run again.
What would you do differently?:

Learn to clip shoes into bike and strap in while moving.

  • 9.32 miles
  • 19.07 mile/hr
Comments:

I felt like I had a really good bike section but it wasn't as fast as I think I can go.
What would you do differently?:

Train more on flats.
Transition 2
  • 01m 29s
Comments:

I couldn't get my left foot out of the shoe before getting to the finish, so I clicked out one foot and went barefoot with the other. On the way out, I ran the wrong direction which probably hurt me by 20 seconds or so.
What would you do differently?:

Learn the TA better before the race.
Run
  • 20m 22s
  • 3.11 miles
  • 06m 33s  min/mile
Comments:

I did what I wanted to. Start slow and speed up once I got a rythm.
What would you do differently?:

More running training.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Swim navigation, mental mistakes in transitions, not enough training.

Event comments:

Really fun venue with a lot of people.
