Swim
Comments: Overall good swim. Unfortunately, I grossly underestimated my time, and had to pass approx. 8 people in the pool. Could have gone at least 15 and maybe 30 seconds faster if not for the traffic jams. Flip turns were difficult to execute in the snake swim. What would you do differently?: Estimated my time much lower and flipped closer to the lane lines. I need practice with the flip turn issue. Transition 1
Comments: Transition was fine for a first tri. What would you do differently?: Dry my feet off a little. My socks were soaked in my cycling shoes. I might also consider tri-shoes at some point because my sidis have the buckle fastener at the top which is very slow to close. Bike
Comments: Came out of the pool breathing hard and got worried about my h/r being too high. Calmed down after the first half lap and got my breathing and h/r under control and then started hammering. Overall good ride, need to corner harder and faster and pick up more speed on the downhill sections. What would you do differently?: Ride harder. I got a little too comfortable about halfway through and could have ridden faster. Transition 2
Comments: Had a little trouble coming in to T2, and didn't get off my bike as fast as I could have. Need to work on coming in fast and jumping off and continuing to run. What would you do differently?: Practice riding hard into T2 and jumping off. Run
Comments: Nice, easy, flat course. What would you do differently?: Run a little harder, I had too much left in the tank at the end of the race. Post race
Warm down: Walking/stretching for about 15 minutes. What limited your ability to perform faster: Pacing experience. Event comments: I don't like the snake swim, but I don't have experience with another format, so who knows how I will feel about it after an open water event or another type of pool event.
