9 min. in the pool. 12 min. in the lake. Ugh....
What would you do differently?:

I have yet to practice in open water. I'm learning I can expect the same subpar results until I start training in OW.

My average mph on the rides is very slowly but surely coming up. I have a long way to go and I'm ready to seriously invest in a new bike instead of this junker road bike I'm ridin' on.

Keep workin.

Keep workin.

Warm down:

Was ridiculously thirsty so I pounded a whole bunch of random fluids. Some light stretching.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Only my 3rd race, there is a LOT of time for improvement!

Give me some words of encouragement, I need it!

Excellent race...regardless of it being your 3rd.  Sprints are great experience and you got  some yesterday.  I am not sure how far off your run time was from your 5K PR, but it was very good.  An investment in saddle time will push you right up the AG standings.  Good luck with future races!

For a third race, that's pretty quick! What AG are you in?

You'll probably see your finishing time drop like a stone after a few more races..Congrats on a great race..
