Comments:

It was the first time I actually swam the distance, all my training days my swims were interrupted. When I got tired I went to the standby of the backstroke, I never stopped swimming or used any of the buoys or kayaks for a rest.
What would you do differently?:

Train more for the swim portion and get better workouts in during the pre race season.
Transition 1
  • 03m 50s
Comments:

Being this was my first Tri I was beat getting out of the water, the legs didn’t want to get going for the after the swim. Once I got moving and sucked down a Gel I was pretty much good to go.
What would you do differently?:

Next time I will try to move a little faster out of the water and hopefully I will be able to shave some time off of the transition with practice
Bike

Comments:

The road surface could have been better it was in need of repaving. I use a Mountain Bike so I wasn’t overly concerned with the smaller road defects but the few potholes I saw could have been a concern. Traffic control was good but I did have to slow down for a couple of cars on the course.
Transition 2
  • 01m 45s
Comments:

There was a little confusion on the dismount area on my part I dismounted a little early but it was a good running dismount. I had a little difficulty getting my bike back on the rack as it was a little low for my bike.
Run
  • 35m 13s
  • 3.11 miles
  • 11m 19s  min/mile
Comments:

It was a good run, I am still not where I want to be in endurance but as a run walk it went well.
What would you do differently?:

Run more in training.

Event comments:

This was my first triathlon, and I will be racing it again in 2009. I hope that training during the winter will make my next race better. my goal is to shave at least 15 min off of my total time for next year.
