Just no preparing for the first swim. I was very physically prepared but the mental got to me and I never got into a breathing routine. Kept my head up and wasted a lot of energy. A few moments in which I reminded myself I would not sink with the suit on. :) Drafted really good until the got flipped like a turtle and I nearly swam over top of him. Rest of the time I was pretty much on my own.

Just need more experience. Going to need to figure out how to practice in my race like conditions.

Got a bit stuck with the heels, good run out and shoes on while travelling down the road.

practice, felt good about the T1

Not bad for first time, had many chances to ride course prior due to distance from home. Have a Trek Hybrid so new that I would be limited a bit by equipment but still hit a max speed of 39.7 MPH. Wonder how faster I would be with better equipment. :)

Get a tri specific bike.

Thought this was fast but lots of people under my time. hmmm almost bit it on a corner in the wet grass. age rank 11th

Go faster!

Surprised how easier the runs are getting, need to push a bit more

need to push a bit more, past leg issues hold me back, biggest area for improvement

walking and cooling down


mental


Good first time event, will do this again next year especially because of the distance from home.
