Swim
Comments: The swim is by far my weakest area. I was nervous before the start and went too hard too early. I definately need to work on my swimming What would you do differently?: Work more on my swimming conditioning Transition 1
Comments: Getting out of the wetsuit was a breeze. Had no problem getting helmet on. Had a problem getting my shoes clipped into my bike. What would you do differently?: Not much - I would like to practice leaving my shoes clipped into the bike. Seems like it would make for an easier exit Bike
Comments: I should have gone harder on the bike. I used HEED and it didn't sit well with me for some reason. I had a hard time slowing down my breathing and HR the first few miles What would you do differently?: Need to get a better hydration plan. I did not feel fresh on the run and have a feeling it was due to my lack of hydration/nutrition on the bike Transition 2
Comments: OK - I realized the difference between tri biking shoes and road biking shoes. First off - my shoes are the Shimano's with the 3 straps and are not very easy to get on or off. They are also not very easy to run in. What would you do differently?: Not much Run
Comments: I had a hard time on the run. It was hot and I don't feel like I prepared well on the bike. I also stopped at both aid stations and drank 2 small cups of water. I lost time by doing that What would you do differently?: Need to do more bricks so I can get my legs more accustomed to the run Post race
Warm down: Drank some water and sat in the shade What limited your ability to perform faster: 1st time nerves. Swim and run need to be improved. Especially the swim. I mainly want to focus on not getting so tired on the swim Event comments: Don't have much to compare it to, but I was really impressed. Great race! Last updated: 2008-05-16 12:00 AM

Got up around .5 after a sleepless night. Light stretching. Ate a banana and drank some gatorade
Since this was my first real tri, I was not sure what to do. I walked around checking out all of the nice bikes and went into the water to get a feel for my wetsuit.
