Swim
Comments: swallowed a lot of water. Need to get used to swimming so close to others. Also need to learn to pass. What would you do differently?: Pass people who are right in front of me. I held back out of fear I wouldn't be able to maintain the pace. Need to develop more confidence. Transition 1
Comments: The transition went really quickly. I was surprised. Bike
Comments: Considering I did this on an all-steel frame mountain bike, I am pretty happy with my speed. I did feel there were moment when I could have pushed a little harder. But I held back a bit because I didn't know the course and everyone had warned me about a long hill on the back part. I handled that hill with no problem. I am proud of myself. What would you do differently?: Get a tri bike. One day... Transition 2
Comments: Forgot how to rack the bike for a second. Forgot to take off my helmet and had to turn back. But it still went pretty quickly. Better than I thought. What would you do differently?: Mentally rehearse the transition as I am finishing the bike course. Run
Comments: Ran the whole thing. Took the first part nice and easy then started pushing toward the end. I am so happy that I'm under 12 min miles. I still can't believe it. And it is manageable. The pace is not too hard for me. Next goal 11 min miles!!! What would you do differently?: Nothing for this race. I paced myself just right. Next time I hope to be faster but I'll have to get there in training. Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster: Poor swim. I could have done better. I should have passed people. But it was my first tri and I literally just learned to swim. So I am pretty happy with this performance and very proud of myself for taking this on. I thought I would be dead last. I wasn't. Not by a long shot. Last updated: 2008-10-20 12:00 AM
