I was pretty happy with this, as only my 2nd tri swim. I made a point to stay out of the mass of people, as this is a little too scary for me. I ended up swimming a little out of my way, but it was worth it. I was very happy with my swim time, and more importantly how I felt going into T1.

Still getting used to distance swimming, so I don't know enough on what to do differently...yet.

I was happy with this time, but I had a problem getting up a little incline right out of the transition (on grass). I then spent the next 60 seconds trying to get my shoes clipped in.

Didn't have my bike in an easy enough gear for the start.

The ride was very slow for me.... Couldn't figure out what was going on really. Just seemed like I was peddling very hard for the speed I was going. Looked down, and both tires were really low on air, and of course, I had no pump. Suffered through it, but all in all, still really happy with this as it was only my 2nd tri, and I NEVER ride any type of hills (I live in hamtramck, train in detroit, and it is very flat.

CHECK TIRE AIR PRESSURE BEFORE START IDIOT!!!!

All things considered, I couldn't have done much better.

As I get in better shape, I hope I will be able to run through this area better.

I just plain need to run better. Having no background in running, it is still difficult to critique this. I walked most of the way, but am not sure if I could have run more. Will get a better feel for running as time goes on.

jumped in the lake.


I'm still overweight, and learning.


I had fun, the people were great, and I look forward to doing the next 2 this summer, hopefully to see performance improvements.
