I didn't do badly, considering the chop. My paced was slower than last year.
What would you do differently?:

Practice.
Transition 1
  • 03m 1s
Comments:

Very slow transition. Part of this was the larger field and my bike was in the absolute middle of the transition area. Also, I was just bloody tired after the swim and consequently fumble-fingered.
Bike

Transition 2
  • 01m 28s
Comments:

Not bad, but again, being in the middle of the transition area have me longer to run.
What would you do differently?:

I would say, "Get there earlier to get a better rack spot," but I know that won't happen. It's everything I can do to get my husband up and there an hour before start time. And as for me, I hate standing around for hours, waiting--makes me nervous. So honestly, since I'm just there to have fun, I would say: nothing.

Comments:

Slow off the bike, but picked up speed after mile 1. I ran the whole route, which is good for me, just stopping a but to drink some water.
What would you do differently?:

Do bricks.
