Tough swim. Couldn't get into a rythmn. Unnerved by other racers, I think. Not a good performance.
What would you do differently?:

Just swim, and not worry about other swimmers. Concentrate on fundamentals.
Transition 1

Comments:

Wetsuit off in water, ran the 200yds between pond and transition.

Comments:

That was fun! Avg 24-25 mph out, and 19-21 on second half. Did not get passed by anyone, passed lots of racers.
What would you do differently?:

Not much.
Transition 2
  • 00m
Comments:

Smooth transition. Had not practiced transitions much this spring, so was pleased both T1 and T2 went as well as they did.
Took a drink of Gatorade before run.
Run

  • 3.5 miles
  • 07m 35s  min/mile
Comments:

Finding a rythmn took a while. Felt like I had a very high HR starting the run. But settled in, and got passed by only one runner.
What would you do differently?:

More bricks in the weeks leading up to the race.
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of swim race experience.

Event comments:

Good beginners race or good for a B or C race, which fit the bill for me. The splits were not timed, and I forgot to use my stop watch, except for the run, so I had to back out the swim and bike times from run time and avg bike speed, so everything else (swim, T1, T2) were lumped into the swim.
