Felt strong in swim. I was pleasantly surprised with how easy the swim seemed. I was passing people like crazy in the 2nd half. If the swim would have been longer, I would have moved up further I think.

Be more aggressive at the start. I held back some at the beginning because I wasn't sure what I was doing.

Don't know why this took so long...

Put watch and number on bike. Skip the sunglasses. Put bike closer to end of rack.

Was trying for 18mph average and almost made it. That is about the best I can do at this point with the mountain bike. I passed more people than I thought I would. Unfortunately they just weren't the people in my age group.

Get a better bike :) Just keep training and pushing mph up. For only bike training for one month and no background in it, I think I did okay.

Bikes were all over rack and couldn't get mine on. Had to move other people's bikes to get mine on.

Put bike on end if I get there early enough. Make sure to know how the transition goes out to run start. Some confusion there. Not sure what else to do.

Very HOT!!! Was faster for each mile and had a kick at the end. Legs were tired from the bike. Need more bricks and longer ones in training.

Need more bricks and longer ones in training.

Slow transition times definitely affected my performance. A minute faster in transitions would have moved me up two places. Bike time was the second factor. I was 2nd in swim, 4th in run, but 7th in bike.


Needed a little more direction at start of run -- volunteers acted like we knew where to go already.
