Mentally I did not want to swim a mile and I had no idea what it would take out of me and if I would be able to finish the triathlon strong or not. It was a poor swim and I flipped onto my back a couple times.

Train more.

It wasn't too bad. I got out of my wetsuit better than I have been but I didn't get clipped in as fast as I would have liked.

I did pretty good on the bike. Passed quite a few people and was never passed. Had one bad stretch where it felt like there was something wrong with my bike..It wasn't rolling very good...so I was checking tired, brakes, etc. Had two cliff shots on the bike...1 at the beginning and 1 at the turnaround.

It wasn't too bad. I took my feet out of my shoes while getting ready to dismount for the first time ever! I should have practiced. It would save time. Its easier to run barefoot than in bike shoes. Had a cliff shot before heading out.

There were areas on this run where I just wanted to walk. Then a few minutes later I felt great. It was weird. When my back was to the sun I felt a lot better and ran faster.

Do more brick workouts.

Stretched and walked around.


Inexperience at Olympic distance and my horrible swim.
