Comments:

Swim pace was slow, but my form wasn't bad, and I felt comfortable in the water.

What would you do differently?:

I need more time in the pool, especially w. fast repeats and shorter recovery periods

Transition 1

00m 48s

Comments:

I was 7th overall on my transition time, but I had trouble mounting my bike w. shoes on pedals.

What would you do differently?:

I have to practice getting into my shoes after mounting the bike

Comments:

I really hit the bike hard. I was all out for the whole course. I wasn't passed all day, and did lots of passing.

What would you do differently?:

To become a better biker I am going to have to hit the weights. I can't put much more into my training or race effort.

Transition 2

00m 39s

What would you do differently?:

I save time in T1 by not putting socks on for the bike ride, but I need them to run, so I give a little time back. O'll 55/454 in T2 which is good.

I left it all on the bike course. It was a brutal run, but I dragged myself through it. I was passed 5 times. Ouch.
