![]() Swim
Comments: I survived my first open water swim but it was not as pretty as I would have liked. I spent a lot of time with my head above the water and had to use my rest stokes (side and breast) more than I would have liked. What would you do differently?: I need to pratice a lot more often in open water. The pool is great but the swim is a lot different when there is not a wall every 25 meters. ![]() Transition 1
Comments: OK... I lost my bike in the transition area. I could not find it. It the end I was so frazzled I was looking in the wrong row...I actually never found it before the swim and just prayed that when I got to the transition area afterwords with less bikes I could find it...and did...but I felt like a moron. What would you do differently?: I now understand why one uses ballons and such to find their bike. Also I should have given myself more time to get set-up. I was running a little late and it did not give me enough time to get properly set before the race. ![]() Bike
Comments: I rocked on the bike. I was passing people like crazy! It felt really good. What would you do differently?: I think this is a section I can really improve on. I feel very comfortable on my bike and I think it could really help improve my time. ![]() Transition 2
Comments: I thought this was a very good transition. No problems What would you do differently?: I would locate my transition stuff a little closer to my bike area. ![]() Run
Comments: OK running is my least favorite part of this whole deal. In training I built up to 45 minute runs and it paid off. I ran the whole way feeling pretty good about it. I am getting closer to my 10 minute mile goal. I was very happy. What would you do differently?: Just continue to work at it. I am finally starting to feel like a runner. I would like to work up to 60 minute runs and start building in intervals. I also need to do more bricks. I did not do any before this race. ![]() Post race
Warm down: I walked around the crowd taking advantage of every free sort of drink I could get my hands on. I also sat down and stretched. I short walk when I get home. What limited your ability to perform faster: I did not train as hard as I should have for this race although I am still very happy with my finish. I improved over last race and survived my first open water swim. Event comments: I guess they had a lot more participants than expected. Considering that it was very well organized.
