Comments:

I am terrible at this right now. I can't get over the panic of the start and have major problems catching my breath. It's not my conditioning at all, but mental.
What would you do differently?:

I don't know? Just keep entering events.
Transition 1

Comments:

Terrible time.
What would you do differently?:

Gotte get out of there faster. Sockless? Tri suit so I don't bother putting on a top?

Comments:

I'm actually OK with my bike. I'm still on a hybrid (Scott Sub40) so to get more than 19.5mph average is probably asking a lot. I will be upgrading to a road bike in the near future.
What would you do differently?:

I'm hoping the bike upgrade will help and then get into some group rides for training.
Transition 2
  • 00m 53s
Comments:

T2 is much easier. I'm not in clip shoes or anything, so hang the bike and helmet and go basically.
What would you do differently?:

Not a whole lot.
Run
  • 25m 11s
  • 3.11 miles
  • 08m 06s  min/mile
Comments:

It took a while to get my legs back, but 25 minutes is fair. I think I need to just attack the run a little more. I think I get a little complacent with my pace and just try to get through it. Again, some mental things at work there.
What would you do differently?:

Attack it. Push.
