Not a bad swim, since I had only been in the pool once in the past year. Literally

What would you do differently?:

Train more. But with life changes (having a baby in August) Triathlon hasn't exactly been on the forefront.

Comments:

Long run up the sand made for a long T1 time.

T1 wasn't measured by Website, I knew what my swim was and took the difference.

Nothing really. Just out of practice and it was so damn cold I couldn't get my mind straight.

Can you say Bricks for feet. My feet were still cold from the swim and my legs felt like I have never run in my life. Didn't get into a groove until the turn around.

What would you do differently?:

TRAINING MORE ON BASE

Post race
