No stage timing because of electrical problems

I think this was probably my best ever effort in the pool. I did 100M without issue, and I felt VERY fast. Water temperature felt cold, but I adjusted quickly and swam hard. Still taking too many rest breaks.

Again no segment timing but I felt like I was pretty quick on the bike. I forgot a lot of stuff this first race, but 5 hour energy was a huge win. Didnt know how valuable that cafeine would be but it helped make up for a lack of snacks on the bike later on.

Not much I like my setup for the T1.

I was slow and terrible. If it werent for the safety truck, i would never have finished my first tri. I didnt know how to properly adjust my gears and I wound up with my chain stuck in between chainrings.

Train, train, TRAIN! I need to really work on hills a lot more. My flat rides werent even enough, let alone the lack of hills.

Another ok transition. I seem to be pretty decent at moving between stages, probably because im not moving that fast.

Not much, maybe more careful to remove my helmet and place it more quickly on the ground

I was EXHAUSTED, and frankly amazed I finished this race. Because ive done so many 5ks, I wasnt too worried about the walk, but it probably would have been good to do more of it

train more, I need to transition to running.

stand around, get in car, get subway, drive home


Im fat and I didnt train anywhere near enough.


It was fun for a first timer, but it didnt seem to have enough going on around it, and I hope that future races im in are more enjoyable all around.
