Started out too fast. Got a heel in the right goggle at 1st buoy and had to roll over to correct. Didn't pay enough attention to form in middle 200 and got sloppy. Targeted an 8:00 swim so missed by 13 seconds.

Swim 100 strokes just before start to get rid of some of the adrenaline and start a bit further back. Make sure to focus on staying in form for the whole swim so more efficient.

No timing chip so estimating T1 and T2 times. Took it slow on purpose to recover a bit from swim. Had to put wrist brace on and probably lost 15 seconds there.

Skip the recovery and do an active recovery in the first 30 seconds of the ride where instead of losing 30 seconds would likely only lose 10 or so.

Way exceeded expectations. Had hoped for a 20mph average and ended up at 22.7 mph. Was able to maintain effort on the hills allowing me to pass many.

Nada

Estimate 1:30 but that seems long. Calves tried to cramp when squatting to put on shoes but a little stretching took care of that.

Increase cadence in last quarter mile to try and get the legs more ready to run

Clunky at begoinning but after 100 yards OK. Probably could have done a sub-8:00 pace OK but since this was my first tri, conservative.

Target a 7:50 pace

Totally blew it. Minimal walking while refueling.


Too fast out on the swim resulting in poor form for the rest of the segment and a longer T1. Conservative pace for the run.


It was my first tri, so can't make a fair comparison. Used to half and full marathon races.
