Swim
  • 10m 9s
  • 437 yards
  • 02m 17s / 100 yards
Comments:

Swimming was chaotic. Running into ppl and vice versa made it extremely difficult.
What would you do differently?:

I would try and get out quicker and be more towards the front. Drink more water before race.
Transition 1
  • 05m 50s
Comments:

There were actually 2 transitions. One from swim to T1 and then T1. The run from swim was quite far esp in a full wet suit.
What would you do differently?:

If wearing a wet suit, would go sleeveless.

  • 12.43 miles
  • 19.16 mile/hr
Comments:

By far my best event. Felt strong/comfortable on the bike.
What would you do differently?:

Train more miles to have more strength/endurance for run. Ride outside more.
Transition 2
  • 01m 29s
Comments:

Transition felt good until I started to run and both calves were cramped/tight and couldn't really get going initially.
What would you do differently?:

Drink more fluids before race even begins and stretch more as well.
Run
  • 27m 28s
  • 2.75 miles
  • 09m 59s  min/mile
Comments:

Cramping and tweaked hamstring made the run almost unbearable. There were NO fluids available on the run. Did manage to jog/walk/run to the finish.
What would you do differently?:

Train outside more. Run more miles in training.
Post race
Warm down:

Not much.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Cramping. Needed more conditioning.

Event comments:

Needed fluids on the run portion. Very nice venue and well organized.
