Jogged around transition area
Swim
  • 04m 19s
  • 300 yards
  • 01m 26s / 100 yards
Comments:

Officials lost my early entry form so I wasn't properly seeded. They wanted me to start with the 7 minute swimmers. After getting angry and pleading (and a little persuasion from my DH) I was able to start earlier with the faster swimmers.
What would you do differently?:

Send my husband's and my entry forms with two separate checks in two separate envelopes.
Transition 1
  • 00m
Comments:

Pulled on a long sleeve cycling jersey and gloves for bike segment. It was 40 degrees outside. This was definately well worth any time lost in transition.
Bike

  • 16.66 mile/hr
Comments:

Started out fast, but began to fade toward the end.
What would you do differently?:

I think I rode at the best level I could have at this time. Need to ride more over distance training to help with endurance.
Transition 2
  • 00m
Comments:

Had a great transition to run.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing
Run
  • 26m 27s
  • 3.1 miles
  • 08m 32s  min/mile
Comments:

This was a good run for me. I didn't start too fast off the bike and I was able to increase my pace throughout the race.
What would you do differently?:

Will definately do more speedwork in training. This was a PB for me so I'm not going to beat myself up about my time. The run is now my weakest event and will get more attention during training than I have given it in the past.

Event comments:

Very pleased with my results. I finished under the time I wanted to finish in and won my age group to boot.
