 Swim
Comments: It was so cold that I didn't want to put my face in for most of the swim - the cold was literally knocking the wind out of me. Instead, I swam head up breast stroke for the majority of it, and tried to keep as much of my body out of the water as possible! I was still managing to pass people doing front crawl and wearing wet suits though, so I felt like a pro star! What would you do differently?: Wear a wet suit! It would have helped with the cold and maybe allowed me to comfortably do front crawl and improve my time. Overall, I think I did well given the circumstances.  Transition 1
Comments: Time includes transition time and run up from swim time. Getting my shorts & shirt on were a bit of a hassle. Lost time putting socks on before shoes, but there's no way I could wear my shoes without socks! Walked bike out. What would you do differently?: Wear a tri suit so I don't have to struggle with clothing. Learn how to run the bike out of T1.  Bike
Comments: I suck at biking! I was getting passed by everyone and seemed to be working harder than all of them. This is definitely the area that I have to work on the most! Thank God I got through it. What would you do differently?: Practice, practice, practice! I also might want to eat more for breakfast...I'm going to blame part of my poor performance on a possible lack of nutrition! Transition 2
Comments: This went well. Walked bike into transition. Legs felt like jell-o already! What would you do differently?: Learn how to run bike in.  Run
Comments: My legs were pretty much beat from the mess that was my bike, so it took a while to get into the run. About 750m in my legs were starting to feel better and I got into a consistent pace that I continued for the remainder of the run. There was nothing left in the tank for a sprint finish! What would you do differently?: Practice the brick. Run more often, and working on intervals to improve speed. Post race
Warm down: Eat food and celebrate with friends! We forgot to stretch because we were so excited that we finished our first ever Try-a-Tri! What limited your ability to perform faster: Lack of practice at the bike and run. Cold temperatures in the water Event comments: I loved this Try-a-Tri and because I had such a great time doing it I will definitely be signing up for more next year! The event was run really well, and the venue is great! Last updated: 2010-09-13 12:00 AM

This was my first TAT ever, so there wasn't really a routine. I more-or-less just tried to keep my nerves in check.
None really...just tried to get used to the crazy cold water!
