Comments:

Flipped out. Couldn't get breathing down at all. Wanted to quit after 3 lengths, ended up taking in too much water from all people around. Flipped over to back stroke to calm down.
What would you do differently?:

Not flip out. Remain calm. Breath.
Transition 1

Comments:

Felt pretty good making transition. Everything laid out pretty well. Came out, put on shirt, socks, shoes, helmet and started running out of transition area. 2 minutes included walk from pool deck into parking lot/transititon.
What would you do differently?:

Get out of swim better.

Felt great on bike. Was able to pass some people and catch some time. Wish it was longer.

Comments:

Quick transition from bike shoes to runners. Didn't untie or tie either. In and out of area.

  • 07m 24s  min/mile
Comments:

Had to concentrate on breathing, but ran same pace pretty much whole way. Felt good, although would like to shave some time off, or atleast begin to sprint earlier.
What would you do differently?:

Eat more before race. Felt liquid swoosh around in my belly throughout the run. Needed more substance.

Event comments:

I would do this race again to work on speed of transitions. Distances were almost too short. Fun first tri though. Met some very nice people.
