Comments:

I placed myself almost perfectly in the line-up. I didn't have anyone close to me behind me and I only passed one person.
What would you do differently?:

As I always say, commit to more training and learn how to be faster. I feel I can swim all day at my pace, but i'm ready to be faster.

Comments:

This was my best tranistion time to date.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing.

Comments:

I thought this was a tough course. at certain points I was doing 30 mph, and up some of the hills I was doing 11 mph. I was glad to hear others say the same thing about the toughness of the bike course. I also had a heck of a time getting clipped in to my pedals for some reason.
What would you do differently?:

Do more speed workouts to get faster. Train more hills.
Transition 2
  • 00m 48s
Comments:

This was my best T2 transition time. Overall, I wa spleased with both of my trasition times. However, I would still like to get faster.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing.
Run
  • 27m 35s
  • 3.11 miles
  • 08m 52s  min/mile
Comments:

This run sucked for me. My left ankle kept cramping up on me and I felt like I was reaching muscle failure. I think it was my fault and due to a lack of strectching though.
What would you do differently?:

More speed work!
Post race
Warm down:

Didn't get one. I jumped right in to helping my daughter who was doing the kids tri :) She placed 27 out of 88. Not too bad for her first tri!!!!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of training and proper stretching.

Event comments:

I can't complain. This was my first race where I placed in my age group, and my first 1st place in my age group (even though there were only 6 of us).
