  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • Comments: Overall, not bad for my first race. I was surprised to be 3rd out of 11 in my AG and 17th out of 76 overall on the swim because I've never done laps until the last two months. I was disappointed to finish 9th out of 11th on the bike. I thought I'd be relatively stronger on the bike than the swim. The run went well. As expected, the first half mile was unpleasant, but I found a groove and ran a decent 5k. Overall, I was 6th out of 11 in my AG. I lost by 13 seconds overall to two other racers who beat me by 29 and 34 seconds in total transition time. I guess I need to spend more time practicing transitions and less time running and swimming!
