I was very happy with the swim. This was my first open water swim and I did not know what to expect. I was very happy to see my time. I purposely tried to slow myself down so that I would not run out of breath on the swim.

I might try to go a little faster. I may have been a little over paranoid about wearing out.

I purposely went slow because I wanted to make sure I was not out of breath when I got on the bike, but I was surprised to see how slow I did go. 3 minutes!

I need to go faster on this.

I felt very good about the bike. I obviously did not set any time records but much better than my last triathlon. The last triathlon I did I was out of breath the whole time and this one I felt good.

Practice more.

This is slow and needs improvement.

Practice transitions

Again did not set any records but felt very good about the run compared to my last triathlon.

Practice more.

Walked around. Had a pancake and bottled water, green tea.


Just need more experience.


Very good race. I will do it again. I had a fairly bad experience with my last tri- just being out of breath the entire time and feeling bad. So, overall I thought this tri was successful, not so much for my time but just feeling good overall. Now I can focus on improving times.
