Stretched a little more.

Swim felt good. Just slow and steady.
What would you do differently?:

Maybe push a little hard. Need to get stronger on the swim.

Comments:

Long transition area. Still having problem with getting socks on. Shoes on faster now that I have lace locks.
What would you do differently?:

Need to get some clip shoes.

  • 20.35 mile/hr
Comments:

Bike felt good. Pushed hard and was fairly happy with my bike time.
What would you do differently?:

Not push as hard. Need to remember it's not a sprint tri and I have to run 6.2 instead of 3.1. HYDRATE MORE!!!
Transition 2
  • 01m 13s
Comments:

Good smooth transition. Had to turn back for my hat.
What would you do differently?:

Remember my hat and hydrate while working the legs it.

Run
  • 1h 10m 13s
  • 6.21 miles
  • 11m 19s  min/mile
Comments:

Run was horrible. I had absolutely nothing left.
What would you do differently?:

Hydrate more on the bike and take in more fluid at the start of the run. Was probably already dehydrated when I started the run and could not get caught up. Had some cramps in my quads that slowed me down also.
Post race
Warm down:

Lots of cold water.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Did not prepare for the heat. Did not do enough brick workouts. Was not as prepared as I thought I was.

Event comments:

My first olympic and I learned a lot. I will be ready for my next olympic race.

Good job on your first OLY; there was no way to prepare for the heat in that race. Feel comfortable about the fact that you've probably alreay done your hardest Olympic distance tri, and it was your first one. It all gets easier from here. Great bike split. Good luck the rest of your season.
