Comments:

Swim felt weird. This is my strongest part of the race and felt the most "off"
What would you do differently?:

Warm up a little more. . . stay on course a little better. Bring mirror goggles since it was sunny.
Transition 1
  • 02m 27s
Comments:

Transition was horrible. This cost me 3rd place and probably a shot at 2nd place in my age group.
What would you do differently?:

Not worry about wiping off my feet so much. Have shoes in pedals and then get in shoes after on the course. Get a routine down. . .too much time just standing and thinking.
Bike
  • 26m 15s
  • 9 miles
  • 20.57 mile/hr
Comments:

Bike felt good. . . hills were good. . .training is paying off on the bike.
What would you do differently?:

Work hills harder. Work on transition out of swim.
Transition 2
  • 01m 38s
Comments:

I have to wear socks because of orthotics. . this takes time.
What would you do differently?:

Get gear off faster. Shoes and socks on faster. . .
Run

  • 2.4 miles
  • 08m 13s  min/mile
Comments:

I need the most work on the run. Horrible at running. If I had a decent run I would be lethal.
What would you do differently?:

Not much, just push self throughout. When got passed with 500 meters to go, get after the person and race hard.
Post race
Warm down:

Uhm. . . yeah right. .

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Transitions!!!

I wish I could feel that off on a swim, you are a fish. Great race, now go put transition practice in your training plan.
