This just was not a good swim for some reason. I have done some OWS and really thought it wouldn't be a problem but things went bad by my standards. My breathing went to crap and my arms got tired. I was able to find someone else at my pace and drafted him for 400+ meters. When I got out of the water I was light headed for some reason and breathing like crazy. There was a 75+ yard run to transition.

Try to relax more.

I didn't think I was this slow...lol. My jersey got tangled in my back and that took a bit to get fixed.

Next race I will have a full zip jersey or tri suit. Other than that I guess just go faster.

I am good with this ride.

Stay aero a little more maybe.

I think I wiull try speed laces.

I really felt like this run kicked my butt. There was a small hill not far from transition and I got winded and I never got in a groove. I had a side stitch for 3/4 of the race and my breathing was horrible. There was one big hill on the trail that I walked up and didn't even attempt to run up.

I need to simply run more and start doing some speed training to get my pace up.

I need to race more to get experience and try to start doing some realistic bricks.


I really wanted to do a little better but overall I guess I am ok with this race. I was hoping to be closer to 1:15 so now I know I have work to do. The bad swim really messed me up and it took a bit to refocus. I need to find another race before Augusta so I can feel better.
