Since this was a reverse tri I hit the pool and was exhausted. I started out well and was passed several people but then just hit a wall. I actually had to throw in some breast stroke for about 25m but finished fairly strong. The swim time includes transition so it's not as bad as it looks.

transitions were not timed so not sure how long it took. It seemed to go well for me. Easy transition from run to bike.

I wasn't as ready for this as I thought. I have put in a lot of miles on the bike recently but need more.

bike to swim was not a good transition. I was tired and on the verge of cramping after going all out on the bike. When I was ready to head to the pool I had no idea which end of the transition I was supposed to use and started heading the wrong way. Nobody said a word but I noticed no one else was headed that way so I turned around and went the other way. Long run on pavement and sidewalk in barefoot...no fun.

understand the flow of transition and have some flip flops or something to wear on the long run to the pool

I didn't push the first mile since I was unfamiliar with the course. I held back a little on the beginning downhill and was glad when I realized the last 2 miles were all uphill.

push the first mile a little harder

grabbed some watermelon and water then did a little stretching and mingling


lack of training
