Actually could not have gone better. That's about all I am capable of at the moment. Nice having a lane. I tried one flip turn and it took too much out of me. Didn't really stop but had to work hard to finish. At least it's only a temporary tiring. So everything was average for me.

Just need laps in the pool. I've been working hard on my stroke but I have no endurance w/it. And my mental block - I HATE SWIMMING. Of course, I hated running a year ago and this fall I'm doing my first marathon. So there is hope.

Pretty good but I could have been faster. It's a very small transition area so not a lot of ground to cover. 3/20 in my age group.

Practice

Felt good on the bike. Needed more miles in training to sustain mph. I'd get up to 20-22mph then my legs would get tired.

Train more on the bike

This is the only area I did something stupid. I was unbuckling bike shoes and somehow thought I was putting on my 2nd running shoe. But instead I rebuckled my bike shoe. So I lost probably 20 sec. there.

Pay ateention to shoes

Pretty good run for me. I keep getting faster so thats a step in the right direction. My breathing was still labored in the beginning but I got that under control. Really sprinted the last few hundred feet. I had a time goal of 1:16:30 and I monitored my run the entire time to make sure I met it. I came in w/ 38 seconds to spare. Also proud that I was 20min. faster than last year. This event was my first triathlon last year so its nice to see the improvement.

Nothing - keep training and doing speedwork to get faster

walked and ate a bagel.


Great little race. Organized and a real emphasis on fun. I hope to do this race every year and continue to improve.
