Swim
Comments: Swim felt pretty good. I was able to pass a good number of the people from the wave ahead of me. Felt like I was getting stuck in a lot of traffic whenever approaching a buoy marker. Seems like people bunch up at them and then fan back out after passing. After bumping with people multiple times and getting stuck behind groups I swam out wider and away where there was less traffic. What would you do differently?: Swim harder and faster. Transition 1
Comments: Took the time to put on a long sleeve shirt and coat to stay warm on the ride. What would you do differently?: If warm enough, just take off on the bike without putting on extra gear. Bike
Comments: Bike was about what I expected in terms of my mph. I definitely must hit the bike training much harder as this was clearly my weakest portion of the race What would you do differently?: Increase bike training. Eventually get a TT/Tri bike and some raceing wheels. Transition 2
Comments: Had some issues with getting the lacing right on the right shoe. Could have done a better job getting shoes on and getting out from the transition area. What would you do differently?: Work on a better lace setup for my shoes. Run
Comments: Didn't run as fast as I had hoped, but at least was able to keep the pace under 6:30. Legs were mostly numb through mile 3 then the burn set in and lung capacity was decreasing from that point forward. Post race
