Comments:

I basically did a race in April(Wind Triathlon) that was the same course with the swim last, so I can compare the two. My arms did not feel heavy like they did then and I felt like I had a lot more energy.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing.

This is the best that I have done on the bike leg. Getting >16mph is good for me.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing, except get clipless pedals.
Transition 2
  • 02m
Comments:

This transition was from bike to swim. I had some problems getting my bike gloves off, so that is why I was slow.
Run
  • 36m 39s
  • 4.35 miles
  • 08m 26s  min/mile
Comments:

This was not a good run. I had been having a little pain in my right achilles tendon & hamstring this past week, which I had been trying to nurse back to health. I was concerned that it would get worse if I ran too hard.
What would you do differently?:

I should take a water bottle with me, because my mouth dried out real fast and there was only one water station. Drink more water.
Post race
Warm down:

I stretched out afterwards.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Recovering from injuries.
