Comments:

NOT good. I missed one of the buoys so I had to back track. Water was freezing cold, heart rate shot up due to body trying to stay warm. Eventually found *a* stroke, muscles didn't ever warm up, they felt stiff the entire time.
What would you do differently?:

WATCH FOR ALL THE BUOYS. I'm an idiot. Thankfully I have 4 more races this year to redeem myself.

Comments:

NOT good. Wasted 2:18 messing around with my STUPID shoe covers (you know, since it was FREAKING cold). True bike riding time was 35:30. That sucks. Oh well. Winds were evil from the north west.
What would you do differently?:

Not use stupid shoe covers (although it may have saved my feet from going numb. What a screw up that was. Thankfully I have 4 more races this year to redeem myself.
Transition 2
  • 01m 38s
What would you do differently?:

NOT WEAR SHOE COVERS. EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO TAKE WET FEET OUT OF SHOES WITH SHOE COVERS. UNABLE TO REMOVE FEET FROM SHOES WHILE ON BIKE.

Comments:

YAY, it actually went well!
What would you do differently?:

Train more for the run, I'm still trying to focus on better form, not speed.
Post race
