Bagel and some water 30 minutes b4 the swim

None, just walking around

250 yards
01m 37s / 100 yards

Comments:

When I registered two months ago I was a lot slower at swimming, so I was slotted in the wrong place. (was in the 6 minute time group)

What would you do differently?:

If I ever do another tri with a pool swim make sure I am grouped in the right time.

Transition 1

01m 45s

Comments:

No transition time, estimated.

What would you do differently?:

Since this was a practice race I wasn't moving as quick. I was actually walking to the transition area :-)

Bike

31m 15s
9.3 miles
17.86 mile/hr

Comments:

Nice short easy ride. My chain popped off going up a hill, so I lost a minute getting it back on.

What would you do differently?:

Push a little bit harder. The last two miles I was just taking it easy and following someone. Could have passed him, but didn't.

Transition 2

01m 5s

What would you do differently?:

I was happy with this transition. Still slow getting out of bike shoes, but will come with time.

Run

27m 25s
3.1 miles
08m 50s min/mile

Comments:

I always feel like I am running soooo slow, but it is all in my mind. Felt good on the run, but the theme of the day was I could have pushed it much more.

What would you do differently?:

Pick up the pace

Post race

Warm down:

Walking around, really need to do more of a warm down

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Swim seeding, chain popping off, and taking a relaxed attitude.

Event comments:

A little disorganized at the start. (no pre race meeting, packet pickup was only available on day of) Once the race started it was VERY organized. Very good prep race
