Quick swim out about 50 yards to see how cold the water was!

Swim

1640 yards
01m 43s / 100 yards

Comments:

water was cold- but not terrible after you get about 150 yards in. I had trouble keeping a line close to the bouys. I seemed to get farther and farther out into the ocean.

What would you do differently?:

stay closer to the bouys!

Transition 1

03m 2s

Comments:

I took my time and talked to some family while I was changing- race was for fun so I was not too worried.

Bike

1h 11m 52s
24.85 miles
20.75 mile/hr

Comments:

I rented a bike- they gave me the wrong size. It was way too big and never felt great. I was able to outclimb a lot of locals on their tri bikes, but they took me on the down hills! Out and back course.

Transition 2

02m 3s

Run

42m 49s
6.21 miles
06m 53s min/mile

Post race

Warm down:

waited for some family to get done- then went to have lunch, and drink in the hot tub!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Bike did not fit

Event comments:

This was a good race- well organized. I would rate this just under Hy-Vee for an oly race.
