Swim went really well. Over two minutes faster than my previous 1500 meter PR. Drafted a few different times, but every time I got in the rhythm with someone they would switch to breast stroke and slow down. Sighting was better than expected.

Being as this was my first triathlon, I wasn't sure how much to hold back. I probably could have pushed it even a tad harder. But overall I was very happy with my swim.

I feel like the transition went as well as possible.

Nothing.

Went really hard on the bike. Felt good the whole way, especially on the hills. There were a few times that I had trouble passing because there were a lot of tri and du athletes on the course.

When passing, commit to it and go even harder.

My transition went fast, but I had to pee so bad... luckily there wasn't a line for the port-a-potty, but it did take at least 30 secs.

Um, be able to hold my pee better?

Another PR! But, I wasn't mentally prepared for how many people would pass me on the run. My goal was to be at or below 10 min/miles, which I did. But I didn't realize that meant so many people were going to be passing me. It played games with my head for the first two/three miles, but once I realized I was keeping a good pace it didn't bother me so much.

Sprint harder at the end.

Got sprayed by cool water and drank some water. Walked for a little bit.


Being as I PRed all three events, I wouldn't say there was much that limited my ability. But I do need to run faster.
