This being my first triathlon I didn't know exactly what to expect. When the race started I was concerned about getting kicked by another racer. After I was out swimming, the murky water made it difficult for me to navigate easily. I had an extremely slow swim.

Start on the front edge, outter edge, of the pack and go for it. Don't hold back.

I took extra time to dry off and get my socks and running shoes on. This slowed me down a bit. Also, I used riding gloves which I didn't need.

No gloves, bigger towels, a few more towels, don't dry off as much.

My bike is SLOW. It's a Haro mountain bike and it felt like I was pedeling with a wet blanket on my back. I felt tired after 7 miles because of my limited saddle time.

More road work. Get a new bike.

I had a lightning transition from the bike to the run. The only thing that slowed me down was taking off the biking gloves. The gloves are not necessary.

No gloves.

This was a personal best time. My calves started to cramp at the beginning of the race but the cramps went away. Near the end of the run my right quad started to cramp but I was able to power on through and the cramp went away and I was able to finish strong.

Don't drink that sports drink. Drink more water. At the end of the race I need to sprint as hard as I can to finish strong.
