Good swim except for the guy who appeared right underneath me. Started wide and cut over. Could have a quicker pace.
What would you do differently?:

Focus on the turn, I seemed to drift off course. Take a better line.

Epic failure, I didn’t check and double check my pedals. Breaks, derailleurs wheels, all checked all well. Pedals, not so much striped my arm at 4 mi.
What would you do differently?:

Check the bike top to bottom, and when I was done, check it again.

good run, felt the pace was good, maybe a little slow.
What would you do differently?:

Faster pace, would like to get to a mid 7's. maybe some interval training.
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

one bike pedal :), Felt the swim and run with T2 were great. Maybe work on T1 and make sure bike is functional.

Event comments:

This was my first Tri, so I don't have any bearing. It was a fantastic experiance, and I will do this one again.

Fixed it, yea, the pedal thing was nightmare.  I did htink about calling it, but decided to use the mental toughness.  I was worried about the tires, that up untill the race were dropping to ~40 PSI.  but the were good at race time.

Also the run after a one legged bike felt like I was dragging a anchor with my left leg.  how do you train for that?  its a double brick.
