Comments:

I'm not a good swimmer, but this swim performance was good for me.

What would you do differently?:

Sight a little more often. I didn't swim razor sharp lines.
Also, still need that elusive draft.

Transition 1

01m 9s

Comments:

This race had 3 transitions. T1 was swim-to-run. T2 was run-to-bike. T3 was bike-to-run. first transition was rough because I was dizzy from the swim and couldn't stay upright getting shoes on. Other transitions were good.

What would you do differently?:

Need to figure out how to slide running shoes on faster. Thinking of trying some vaseline on my insteps.

Bike

30m 38s
12 miles
23.50 mile/hr

Comments:

Bike was fine. Rode within myself, had fun.
Out of transition, there was a lot of riding uphill. Delayed putting my feet in my shoes longer than ever before because I wanted to be up to average pace first. Not sure if that was good or bad.

What would you do differently?:

I don't know...maybe I should bust out more on the bike. Won't know until I try it how it will affect my run.

Transition 2

00m 43s

Swimming
00:08:33 \| 500 yards \| 01m 43s / 100yards
Age Group:	7/21
Overall:	0/376
Performance:	Good
Suit:	Tri shorts
Course:	rectangle. Course was longer than advertised. About 500yards based on an analysis of the times of all the competitors. No one ever measured the water temp and announced it. My guess is 73-75. Since the swim was 1 mile away from the parking/transition area no one used a wetsuit because by the time we noticed the water temp it was too late to go get it.
