Overall I had a great swim. There was one group of 4 or 5 swimmers that went out fairly fast and I tried to draft but decided it would be smarter to swim my own race.

I don't think anything.

I felt that for my first tri, my transition was awesome. I got out of my wetsuit fairly fast (stepping on it actually really helps). Getting my socks and shoes on went faster than I thought it would. Mounting my bike was no problem other than avoiding the other people who were having difficulties clipping in.

Put my helmet on while taking off my wetsuit. I never actually thought about that.

Felt good on the bike. Started off feeling sluggish. Legs felt like noodles after getting out of the water. Didn't fell really warmed up until mile 10 or so. By then of course, it's too late.

I would have spent more time on my tri bars. I haven't spent enough time in training on them either though. Overall, I just need more saddle time to get better on the bike. I was slow!

I was very happy with the speed of this transition. Everything went very smooth.

I would bike harder going in and not forget where the dismount line is (I tried to dismount early).

Pace felt good. Felt a little sluggish coming off the bike but the pace was still there. Was able to hold pace just fine and had a little left at the end.

Nothing.

Light stretching


I just need more saddle time on my bike.


I can't wait to do the international distance race at Pleasant Prairie next year!
