Comments:

Baggy tri top was distracting. Perhaps slowed me? I've lost weight so it didn't fit right anymore.
Also got blocked behind a slow swimmer and really couldn't get around him for the entire swim.
What would you do differently?:

Provided a swim seed 1 second faster so I would be ahead of the large group that used the same seed time.
Transition 1
  • 01m 16s
Comments:

Forgot my helmet! probably due to the extra, unusual stuff I did in T1. Since it was cold I used a hat and gloves for the bike. The extra time running back to get my helmet is reflected in my bike time and may have been 30 seconds?
What would you do differently?:

Forget the gloves...totally unnecessary. Remembered my helmet!

Comments:

If I really used 30 seconds to get my helmet, then my bike time would have been 26:10 which would have been the #2 split.
What would you do differently?:

Not forget my helmet! and not used gloves.
Transition 2
  • 00m 58s
Comments:

Very shaky standing on one foot. Had trouble getting one shoe on. Lost about 10 seconds with shoe.
What would you do differently?:

Relax more, compose myself for a second when putting on shoes.

Comments:

I ran fairly well. Hurt my achilles between the race, the post race 'cool down' and stretching. Very frightening...
What would you do differently?:

No post race run-down.
Post race
Warm down:

Did another lap of the 5k course, but didn't start right away...was kind of cold starting which wasn't good.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lost time in the pool and definitely when forgetting helmet. Maybe as much as 45 seconds total.
