Hard to pass people. When passing, had to dodge oncoming traffic. Pool choppy and random I breathed in a lot of water.

Not much I could do, just really crowded and hard to pass.

Took me a bit to get my dang foot in the slip on pedal thing.

Get my dang foot in the slip on pedal thing faster.

Self conscious about passing someone and then having them pass me soon after. I braked a lot in order to avoid passing someone on the downhill.

I will not be so courteous next time. I will pass when I can and if they get a second wind 5 seconds later to pass me, so be it.

Not having to change shoes was nice. I still don't have bike shoes. Racked my bike slow. Probably backwards.

I was already sort of tired from the bike and the inclines were not a happy surprise. Took a steady pace and didn't try to kill myself until I hit the home stretch.

Train for more endurance!!!

Bad endurance.


It was my first race and I'll probably never forget it. I had a great time!
