Need a lot of work on my swimming.

What would you do differently?:

Prepare more for the swim, settle down some, work to the outside early and focus on my strokes

Transition 1

02m 15s

Comments:

A little bit of trouble with clipping in, would like to practice the bike mount some

Very difficult swim to run. Getting out of the water was a real shock to me. Will have to work on some water to bike transitions.

I pushed harder than I probably should have. It hurt my running some. Work on the Climbs more.

Transition 2

01m 13s

Comments:

Excellent transition, didn't mind the bike to run transition. Tried to spin the last mile 110ish. Must have really helped.

Run

3.11 miles
09m 16s min/mile

Comments:

Ran best I could. I didn't have a lot left. I got a second wind at about a mile in. Faded a bit at 2.5 miles.

Post race

Warm down:

Walked around, stretched, nothing remarkable.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Traing.

Event comments:

I really liked the race. Met the orgainzer, he's a real nice guy.
