Swim
Comments: i am just not as fast as i once was. if i swim strong and steady i am fine but when i go hard my navigation and breathing because erratic. i need to actual put training time in. What would you do differently?: i need to actual put training time in. Transition 1
Comments: i think this went pretty smooth. Now looking at results I was the fastest T1 overall. What would you do differently?: after T1 i need to pactice getting up to speed before i try to get my shoes on Bike
Comments: i still am working to adjust my bike right and learn how to ride with max power output for effort put in. i am troubled that in 4 attempts at tris on a $900 TT/tri bike I am the same speed as on a $178 road bike with basket clips. i may have wasted money. What would you do differently?: adjust bike seat forward. train harder. Transition 2
Comments: it was not a bad T2 but lots of little problems. i coasted from too far out allowing a couple bikes to cut me off at the entry. i ran to my spot to find the yo yo next to me used my spot for his laundry line hanging his wetsuit up so i need to move it in order to get my bike on the rack. i took a little long getting my running shoes on. after i got out i kept unnecessarily messing with my race number belt. What would you do differently?: i will not coast from so far out. Run
Comments: i started passing people from the 2 tri waves and the du wave in front of me. i set out to pass 30 - i passed 40 (unfortunately on a few were my wave. i What would you do differently?: probably should have had some water waiting at T2 Post race
Warm down: half mile at finish. another 5 on the bike and 1 run at home. What limited your ability to perform faster: still need to train more in the water and on the bike and be more mentally tough. Event comments: I really liked this race. There are a few small improvements they could make: They could have had the water stop closer to T2. The swim needed a buoy to keep the return traffic out of knee deep water. The run to T1 was really long. The bikes went out and in the same door. I'll would probably do this again.
