Slow and steady side stroke for me. 3 folks in my lane, worked out well.
What would you do differently?:

Try and try again to learn to breathe with the crawl!
Transition 1
  • 02m 54s
Comments:

Not in a big hurry, wanted to get a bit dry first. Debated whether to put on my cycling windbreaker as I had planned, but it had warmed up considerably so I just put on my long sleeve wicking shirt.
What would you do differently?:

Know what I was going to wear ahead of time.

Fun bike course, if you powered through the downhill you could usually make it up the other side.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing, it was great.
Transition 2
  • 02m 16s
Comments:

Couldn't find my rack at all.
What would you do differently?:

Practice taking feet out of shoes and pedaling with them on top. Remember where my rack is when coming in and leaving from different spots.

  • 13m 58s  min/mile
Comments:

I'm a slow, slow jogger especially after swimming and biking. Able to keep jogging with only 3 <1 min walks though.
What would you do differently?:

Train more on longer distances.
Post race
Warm down:

Got food.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Needed more calories, wanted something on bike but all I had was crystal light. Next time I'll bring something to munch on and a beverage with calories.

Event comments:

This was a well-run and organized tri. Granted only my second ever, but I've watched others. Many volunteers along the way. A wide variety of food at the end.
