Comments:

I was most nervous about this section and felt great during the swim. I passed a decent amount of swimmers from the first wave.
What would you do differently?:

At the end of the race I changed to bilateral breathing in an attempt to go faster. This put me out of breath more for the transition than I would've liked. Would bring a container of baby powder vs trying to just spray it on
Transition 1
  • 00m
Comments:

my water bottle fell out and then I dropped my glove which made the transition slower than I would have liked. Had to run 150yds from the swim to the transition area
What would you do differently?:

not used a water bottle that didnt fit

What would you do differently?:

I would train more hills and ride the course beforehand
Transition 2
  • 00m
Comments:

Took a few extra seconds on this transition to get my legs back in working order
What would you do differently?:

had a sip of water during the transition vs on the run

Felt like I went to slow in the beginning.
What would you do differently?:

Not drank water on the course, got cramps
Post race
Warm down:

umm, warm down? Yeah, stretched about 2 minutes

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Not knowing/understanding the course. Being new and not sure how to pace myself

Event comments:

I thought it was a great race, just don't have anything to compare it to.
