Comments:

was within 5 minutes of goal time for race, I know that I am a slow swimmer
Transition 1
  • 15m 3s
Comments:

slow, slow, slow....much different than most transition zones that I have done in the past.
What would you do differently?:

Would rmember chamois cream and not put sunglasses in wrong bag
Bike
  • 7h 03m 29s
  • 112 miles
  • 15.87 mile/hr
Comments:

had a spoke break about 45 miles in, had to make a stop at mechanical tent to get a different rim, which cost time. Also had a poor setup on the saddle, which made the ride miserable by mile 60
What would you do differently?:

don't forget the chamois cream and already got a professional fit to keep from having a repeat on the saddle issue
Transition 2
  • 07m 9s
Run
  • 6h 20m 23s
  • 26.2 miles
  • 14m 31s  min/mile
Comments:

was doing well through first 2 loops of run, third loop I mentally checked out and was 48 minutes slower than first two loops
What would you do differently?:

get stronger on the bike so that I come off fresher and can maintain pace
