Went out way too fast, couldn't catch my breath and totally freaked out. Definitely my weakest event. Definitely need to swim my own race next time.

Go out at MY pace and keep calm. Also take lessons.

Slow because of tying shoes. Also didn't have a smooth mount.

Next time will have bike shoes, but will get Yanks! to speed putting on running shoes. Need to practice running mount more.

Passed several people, but bike time looks WAY slow. Not sure what to think about that - perhaps all the hills?

Get roadbike with clipless pedals and work hills. Also just get more time in the saddle.

Very fast, good transition.

Will practice bike shoes off, running shoes on before next race since I'll have new bike.

Only problem was flagging endurance. Had to keep run slow to prevent stomach cramping and vomiting. Very thirsty but didn't dare drink at water station due to stomach.

Add long runs and long bike rides into training to increase endurance - I've only been doing short training rides and runs.

Jumping in the lake!


Swim - experience and lack of training.
Bike - equipment.
Run - endurance
