Strokes and endurance felt great... My performance was not up to my expectations due to some trouble (with the dang goggles). Still did reasonably well timewise despite all of the standing around.

Put my goggles on before I jump in... What an idiot! I was stopping at the edge of each lane trying to fix them- They were full of water the whole time... D'oh!

Harder than I expected. I was light-headed/woosy and had a hard time getting things done quickly.

Uh, dunno... I think the transition went well... I was a little woosy when I came out and it took a second to get my bearings.

Went okay... Felt pretty comfortable the whole time. Need aero bars to get into a more aerodynamic stance and shave some time off.

Get out of my comfort zone and push a little harder... I need a device to track my distance/speed progress so I know I need to... Couldn't tell how fast I was going.

Good try on the transition... These things are tough... Trying to be efficient at these silly changes is more challenging than it appears.

Focus on what I need to do before I pull up to the transition area.

Walked a good portion of the hill... Just didn't have the mental willpower to get up it. Slow, slow, slow... I haven't run this slow for ages!

Train more... Need more practice runs OUTSIDE instead of on the treadmill. Running outside is way different than the treadmill. Plus, I didn't get enough running in before the race. I'd like to focus on hill climbing on runs, and more bike-run bricks so I can learn to handle the transition.

Cried... Didn't do as well as I could have...


Lack of proper training/consistency, and mental willpower.


Cant really compare it to others since it was my first, but it seemed very well organized and was lots of fun anyway!
