![]() Swim
Comments: Went out on the swim to hard. Destroyed my T1 and gave problems to start of bike. However, this was the very first swim to bike transition that I have had. Overall, very impressed with my time in the swim. I thought this would be the worst of the three events and it was my best. What would you do differently?: Try to pace a little better and concentrate on better breathing. ![]() Transition 1
Comments: It was a long run from the water to the bikes. The run through the sand put a hurting on me. I was extremely slow during the transition compared to other times. Need to work on leaving shoes on bike and mounting. Never practiced before. Also need to ditch the socks. ![]() Bike
Comments: The first half of the bike was an effort to bring my breathing back under control. Had a near miss with a squirrel, watched it bounce off the front wheel. What would you do differently?: Push harder. ![]() Transition 2
Comments: Unclipped to early, about 10 feet from marker. They had two markers, one that stated to slow down and the other was the unclip line. I simply got confused. Need to practice dismounting and leaving shoes on the bike. What would you do differently?: Work on dismount ![]() Run
Comments: No comments. Just need ot run more. What would you do differently?: Push harder. ![]() Post race
Warm down: None What limited your ability to perform faster: Poor transitions. Lost at least one place in Age Group and potentially 7 overall if I could have reduced transitions by 1 minute. Event comments: Very good first experience. I am hooked now and have already signed up for my next one. Last updated: 2012-02-01 12:00 AM
