Comments:

There are only about 3 people in the whole race maybe I could conceivably draft off of and keep a good pace.
What would you do differently?:

Faster pace needed. Study course map more.

Comments:

MUCH improved downhills, up to 37 mph. Don't know how to keep this speed on turns confidently yet, because I always swing very wide and feel out of control. I wasn't happy with how my bike handled shifting near the race end. I wonder if it is from the lower quality or it needs repair. This is tri #2 where I passed people and kept it! Still passed mostly.
What would you do differently?:

TRAIN!!! I would actually say I had comfortable heart rate and very painful legs by the end.

  • 00m
Run

Comments:

Serious overheating problems. My legs also were not in shape to handle striding out after the bike OR staying at a run through the long uphill. I was nearly passing out from heat and exhaustion the last mile.
Post race
Warm down:

10 minutes sponging, 10 minutes pooping, walk around and eat! yey!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of training. Careless pre-race preparation. It was also very clear I need to come up with a new nutrition plan.

Overall: 18/175
Performance: Average
That's a 1:18 pace... pretty slow but I am not too surprised. I could tell I wasn't pushing myself hard enough, didn't get winded at all, and got a little lost at buoy placement.
Suit: xterra sleeveless
Course: GREAT water temp, no need for wetsuit but didn't overheat... maybe because mine takes on some water, uh-oh. Buoy placement was bad, around river curves, although I take blame for not focusing on course map enough.
