results were good, didn't feel comfortable though

Went pretty well. Had to run a while to get to the transition area from the pool.

What would you do differently?:

try to get to where I don't need socks, and get rid of the camelbak

Comments:

Felt the best on this section. I did really well on the hills without pushing myself. Definately could have worked harder but I was holding back for the run. Need to get comfortable drinking from the bottle so I don't need the camelbak.

Transition 2

02m 2s

Comments:

Went pretty well, should have run out faster. had to run around the transition area due to the set up, giving a longer time

What would you do differently?:

Get bike on rack on first tri. Had a hard time lifting it.

Run

20m
2 miles
10m min/mile

Comments:

Started out really well, had to walk/run the middle portion, ran the last section.

What would you do differently?:

Do more bricks beforehand off the bike, not off the spin bike.

Post race

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Needed to do more bricks, relax while swimming, try to get slicks before next tri.

Event comments:

Very good beginner race, I'm glad this was the first one I did.
