The water was freezing. I didn't really like the time trial start. I felt like everyone was on top of each other. I did ok considering I didn't get any open water swims in.

Swim more.

This was the worst transition. My hands were so cold, I couldnt really use them to get my helmet on. My wetsuit got stuck on my timing chip, and my legs were shaking so bad I had a hard time clipping in.

Who knows, just not this.

I really need practice with shifting my gears. Also, I noticed after the race my front wheel was super loose. I dont know when this occured but it wasnt like that in the morning. Also, my water bottle cage was in the wrong spot and I couldnt get it out. Obvioulsy, I need to work on my bike handling skills as well.

More practice on the actual bike not the trainer.

This transition was fine.

Nothing

I did better on the run then I thought. I have been running but I figured with all the hills, I wouldnt do that great. I improved my time from 2 years ago by 5 minutes.

Just keep running more to increase my endurance and speed.

I was trying to pace myself on the bike so I could finish the run. I could have gone faster on the bike.


The race started a half-hour late which sucks cause it was soo cold standing out there waiting. I was expecting to do a lot worse cause I didnt feel prepared. I now have a starting point to improve on for the rest of the year.
