What would you do differently?:

Push harder. I felt really good in the swim. Passed a bunch of people. I probably would have started higher up in the interval.
Transition 1
  • 02m 46s
Comments:

I could not get my shirt on. My high number put me at the very back of the transition area making my run out a lot longer.
What would you do differently?:

I would race in a tri-suit to avoid having to put on a wet shirt.
Bike

What would you do differently?:

I would put it in a bigger gear. I kept my cadence up, but I could have put out more. My shifting was a bit off...need to adjust the derailleur.
Transition 2
  • 01m 19s
Comments:

My number put me at the very back of the transition. My T2 would have been better had I been closer to the front.

Event comments:

My First Triathlon!!!!!
A great experience. I raced Clydesdale and placed 4th. I would have been 4th in Open Mens 40-44 or in Beginner Mens 40-44 so I think very consistent. Transition times killed me...would have been 3rd had I not had trouble putting on my shirt.
Team-Magic did a TERRIFFIC job.

Great job on your FIRST triathlon!!  What a great feeling to not only finish (which is what I was praying to do on my first), but to come really close to getting some hardware!  Way to go!
