Comments:

The wind picked up about race time. We were looking at 20mph winds. When the race started, we took off. I tripped over some kids that got between my feet, but kept going. I never dove in since everyone ran. It wasn't deep enough to swim.
What would you do differently?:

Maybe try swimming
Transition 1
  • 00m
Comments:

The run for the water to the transition was about .25 miles, half in the sand. My shins and calves were killing me from running in the water. I was dressed and ready to go in a decent time.
What would you do differently?:

Trian more for resistance running.

It was hilly. I was frustrated with Michelle for talking the whole time instead of letting me focus on the race. My legs were tired from the run in the water.
What would you do differently?:

Ride more

me

Event comments:

I was happy to do it, but sad I expended so much energy on the swim/run. I didnt have anythign in me after that. I also started my cycle which drains me of energy. I need to get out there and train a lot more for biking and running, maybe back off the swimming a bit. I was the largest contestant on the course as well.
