Comments:

My first Tri and first open water swim...Could not get calm then sucked water and panicked. Did not get my breathing under control until I rounded the first bouy. Felt really good after that...difficulty sighting... I was breathing on my left...the bouys and everyone else on my right...did a lot of zig-zagging...until I found bubbles to follow...

What would you do differently?:

More drafting...learn to breath off my right if I am going to stay left of the pack

Comments:

Took off my timing chip to get my suit off faster (velcro). Forgot to put my chip back on...ran out of T1 and did not hear the beep...ran back into T1...Rookie!

What would you do differently?:

More practice in T1

What would you do differently?:

Could have went faster...I was worried about the run. Need to focus on the bike more.

Had MTB shoes and peddles...difficult getting them off

Buy road shoes and peddles

Comments:

Could not feel my feet coming off the bike...the little hill at the beginning killed me (very slow...crawling)...got my wind at about the 1 mile mark then felt good.

What would you do differently?:

Bricks! Oh...and more bricks.

Post race

My first race everything was a learning experience...had no frame of referance to mentally prepare
