The swim felt pretty good, a little wore down on the last hundred or so. This can very well be a good event for me with a little more training.

Train a little better towards the end, I kind of gave up on training about a month out, more like life happened!

Not really applicable since T1 for me was from run to bike. A pretty smooth transition all in all.

The bike went pretty well considering that I was on my mountain bike. I really feel like I pushed it super hard. I am looking forward to getting a better bike sometime!

Train a little harder on the bicycle.

Again, from bike to swim so this is a little skewed.

I had a little trouble getting the shirt and bike shoes off, but again, all in all for the first time, I think it went pretty well!

The best run I have had to date! I was hoping to finish it in under 40 min, and to do it in under 37 was great for me!

I think I can run faster than I did, I am going to try to train at a ten minute pace, and see what happens, I think I can run 8 minute miles before the summer is over!

A good walk, static stretch, and a good meal with my family.


A little bit of falling off at the end of the training period.


An awesome first triathlon. The organization was top notch and the staff/volunteers were great! What a great time. I am certainly hooked, and I can see where I need the most help. I had a wonderful time, and look forward to getting a lot better!
