Comments:

Nice swim. Wished I could have had a warm-up.

Hit the wall hard on my turn on the 2nd length, which actually broke the skin on each ankle and left bruises. Left me hesitant going into a few turns thereafter. I didn't do them as quick. Not sure what the problem was.

Transition 1

01m 27s

Comments:

Could not clip in. Literally had to stop and aim my foot at the pedal.

What would you do differently?:

I need to practice transitions.

Bike

29m 40s
10 miles
20.22 mile/hr

Comments:

Nice ride. Very pleased.

Transition 2

01m 5s

Comments:

Smooth transition.

What would you do differently?:

I'd like to run without socks. That would have saved me 5 or 6 seconds.

Run

22m 46s
2.5 miles
09m 07s min/mile

Comments:

Nice run, started out slow, picked it up on the 2nd loop. Wished I'd had the juice to just take-off immediately.

What would you do differently?:

Run faster.

Post race

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Nothing. And I had more energy than I thought. I need to run to exhaustion.

Looking at my splits, I see I did not finish first in any category. I just finished higher in all 3 combined than any other guy.
