This was only my second open water swim. I handled much better than my last one. Stayed in my own pace and really enjoyed it. The only problem I had was water getting into one side of my goggles so I had to stop twice to drain out so I could see.

Made sure my goggles are air tight.

Had trouble getting my shows on. Cost me about 30 to 45 seconds.

Practice the transition more. I seem to put a lot of time into each of the differnet disaplines but nothing into T1 & T2 training.

THe course was great until you hit the wind. Slowed down considerably until the turn around when the wind was at your back. Improved from my time from my first race by over 3 1/2 minutes and was quite please with the bike.

Possibly pushed a little harder but wanted to make sure I had enough gas for the run.

Still need to practice this more.

Practice practice practice!!!

Was doing just fine until I hit the sand. My legs where screaming in the sand. Slowed down considerably. Was hoping to finish the run around 28 minutes.

Train on different surfaces. Sand really bites for running!

After my second race I now know what I need the most work on. But would love any suggestions form anyone on how to lower my run times, any specific trainning that will help. Over all was please with my second race and look forward to the next!
