just a terrible transition, something I need to practice, took a long time to get my shirt on,too tight, getting the wetsuit off was OK, putting the shoes on was hard. will have to practice.

I will practice my transitions before the next race.

Comments:

had difficulty getting my breath after bike, had to walk a fair amount in 1st mile, this time seems fast, didn't feel very comfortable. will work on bike to run transition

What would you do differently?:

I would wear a watch so that I could regularly schedule walks. like the way I've been training

Post race

Warm down:

nothing special

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I think it was hard not being able to train at all the previous week due to cold and then back pain. I would really like to be in a race where I feel as if I trained the best I could. Felt my training was lacking

Event comments:

I wish there were more things like bagels and fruit post race. I did not really feel like eggs and bacon
