 Swim
Comments: I had to give my 750m time when I registered for the race. I said between 17-18 minutes. I wasn't sure. It ended up being the right time for me. We were 4 per lanes and I was the fourth to start. The other three started pretty fast but I kept my own pace. The first girl lapped me about 3/4 of the way and at the end I caught up to the third girl who probably started out too fast. I tried to pass her but she kinda spead up in the last 50 meters. I guess she didn't want to let me pass :) I had a great swim. I kept a very good rythem - not too fast, not too slow. What would you do differently?: Nothing for now. I have to work on my technique to get faster but it's not going to happen this season.  Transition 1
Comments: T1 time is included in the swim time. We had to run about 100m from the pool to the transition and then another 100m from the rack to the bike start. I'm very dizzy when I come out of the water so I'm sure transition took me about 2.5 to 3 minutes. What would you do differently?: Hurry up more LOL  Bike
Comments: I was a bit winded for the first 2 laps. I tried to relax my breathing and hammer at the same time lol I did a good bike leg. I passed about 4-5 girls. I'm happy with my time. What would you do differently?: Learn how to start with the shoes on the bike. I lose precious time getting on and off my bike. Transition 2
Comments: T2 time is included in the bike time. Had to sit down to put my runners on. What would you do differently?: Run barefoot in my running shoes. Not have to tie my shoes  Run
Comments: At this point I was having a great race. The run was brutal. All those girls that I passed on the bike, passed me on the run. I was hot, tired and my legs where done. I really had to dig deep to not walk. I was shuffling running lol The first 2k I was just trying to get my legs to turn over. Then it got a bit better on the second loop. At 4k I started talking to myself : There's only 1k left, COME ON move it hehe I finished but it wasn't pretty.... What would you do differently?: Do more bricks. And run more. Running is my weakest of the 3 sports. Post race
Warm down: Stretched a bit and at pretzels. What limited your ability to perform faster: My transitions are slow. And my running. Event comments: It was a great race. A great beginner's race. Pool swim, flat bike and run course. It was very well organised. Last updated: 2009-01-02 12:00 AM

My wave started at 11:35 so I had plenty of time to get ready. I woke up at 7 had toast with caramel and left at 8. I had to drive one hour to get there. My friend's wave was at 9:30 so I wanted to be there for her.
I rode my bike from the car to the venue (about 5 minutes). The race was already started so it was hard to warm up on the bike. I did a 10 minute run with 3 strides and I warmed up in the pool a few minutes before the start. I did about 200m to get acclimated to the cold water...
