 Swim
Comments: lots of people walking in the water Didn't like that much, but probably only because they were faster than me! What would you do differently?: Swim faster, practice flip turns more so I could use them in the shallow water.  Transition 1
Comments: Slow and I really needed someplace to sit. Rolled socks were a really good idea. What would you do differently?: Be faster. Have my helmet on the ground, not hooked on my bike handles.  Bike
Comments: Bike felt pretty good! my overall mph was faster than I've ever done What would you do differently?: drink more, have gu earlier than I did because it felt yucky on the run Transition 2
Comments: slow--had to change socks after bike because they were sopping wet What would you do differently?: have my transition area laid out better  Run
Comments: Death crawl is more like it. Used 3:30:1 run:walk method. Worked pretty well, but did end up throwing a couple of extra walk segments in on the first mile--legs were like jelly! What would you do differently?: Have more water at end of bike to help hydrate until first water station. Post race
Warm down: None--stood around with family What limited your ability to perform faster: lack of run training Event comments: Great race for first timers. Lots of experienced folks around willing to help and provide advice (when asked for it). Spectators were great, with lots of cheering. Last updated: 2014-07-17 12:00 AM

Don't have a routine, this was my first tri!
Got to venue VERY early, but it was good because I walked around and familiarized myself with the event and transition areas.
Swam a few lengths of a small pool. Probably should have done more.
