freaked out by getting kicked and hit..especially around buoys, breathing pretty heavy every 2nd stroke, did great with forward siting and left and right, almost missed small buoy just before Left hand big buoy following someone else

do better job siting, more ows practice and more races, this was my 2nd tri, practice increasing speed, probably run on land instead of walking

grabbed race belt and visor by accident o/w good, 2nd fastest in my age group

don't pick up the visor

they moved mount line back which i didn't know, plus i grabbed my hat and race belt for the run by accident which got caught in my tire after mount line and had to stop and yank it out..dumb! my socks latched onto the velcro straps which was a new learning for me..making it harder to get my feet in the shoes, didn't get to jump on bike because mount line came up too fast on me

practice mounting, different socks that don't cling to velcro, need to work on increasing speed..very slow for my age group.

tried a flying dismount and someone stopped dead in front of me at the dismount line...someone had a huge towel that fell into my rack slot and made it hard to get my bike racked easily

if dismount line crowded dismount earlier and try and run around them, a little more forceful racking my back over a towel

my hr was way up..went slowly, had to stop and get hr down 3x during run which was frustrating, stomach felt sloshy from ??infinit and gu's..i took one gu before swim and 2 or 3 during bike which was probably too much for me, belching gu alot and stomach stuff was not going down easily..making it hard to drink h20 during run, doused head though with water each stop

?ease off the gu's..maybe have h20 on bike w/infinit, i think i need alot more bric work

walked around drinking h20


i don't think my endurance held up for the run portion
