![]() Swim
Comments: This was my first open water swim. I found it hard to keep a good stroke and very difficult to sight. What would you do differently?: Practice open water swimming. I had practiced the day before, but I need to practice more. ![]() Transition 1
Comments: I had a hard time getting my feet into my pedals. What would you do differently?: I would practice putting my feet in my pedals while just standing over the bar, not sitting on the seat. ![]() Bike
Comments: I attempted to take a gel on the bike, but dropped it on the ground. I almost went back to get it. What would you do differently?: Practice taking a gel on the bike. Ride hills more often. ![]() Transition 2
Comments: I don't have clipless pedals, so I already had on my running shoes. However, I almost forgot to take off my cycling gloves. I had trouble putting on my visor while running. What would you do differently?: Make sure my visor is set at the correct size. ![]() Run
Comments: I walked for 6 minutes of the run. I wish I had run the whole course. What would you do differently?: I will push myself harder both during practice and racing. I need to work on running intervals by running moderately hard, then running easy. I should bring my run to a jog instead of a walk when I need a little recovery. ![]() Post race
Warm down: Some stretching. Lots of water. What limited your ability to perform faster: Lack of experience in open water and not pushing myself hard enough on the run. Last updated: 2005-07-26 12:00 AM
