Still trying to get used to the OWS and trying to get into a rhythm with my breathing and sighting. The water wasn't all that cold and the ocean was very calm, it was like swimming in a lake.

I would push myself harder. This was my longest triathlon and I was worried to use a lot of energy during the swim. I also need to learn how to draft better.

I used socks this time because of the distance and I think it was a good idea because my feet felt great during the entire race.

Have shoes already on the bike.

Again, I was worried about the run so I took it easy on the bike. I fueled well during the ride which helped me on the run. The course was beautiful, probably the most fun bike course I've done yet. The course was rough durning certain portions of the ride but it wasn't too bad. There were CHP's at almost every intersection stopping traffic which was great. Very well organized.

Push harder and train for the hills better. If a person is good up hills they can gain a lot of ground on the other racers.

Transition was fine.

Nothing

I'm a horrible distance runner. This is my worst leg of the race every time. My legs were cramping but I pushed through. I walked durning the last couple of aid stations.

Train harder for the run.

Walked to the food station and then got some more liquids in me. Stretched while eating.


My conditioning was not up to where it should be to perform well in a race like this. I wasn't too upset though considering that this race had a lot of good racers and that it was my longest tri yet.


This was the most organized and best triathlon I've done yet. The course was fun and was very organized. I'm looking to do better next year.
