I started back in the pack and that meant I had to pass a lot of people. I think I got just too complacent and didn't try to push the pace at all. I'm a much faster swimmer than what I did and I think I just got caught up in the moment of watching my family while I was swimming. It was a cool experience.

I think I would watch my pacing better on my watch and set up some alerts for when my pace really starts to drop off. I didn't put in a good effort on the swim and it showed in the results.

I kind of got lost in transition in that I didn't focus on what I needed to do. I should have practiced this part a little more because I was definitely rusty. I sat down and put my socks on and took time putting my shoes on instead of slipping them on. I also spent time getting a drink instead of wating till I got on the bike.

GO FASTER! I wasn't mentally into this race and I should have been.

I think I could have pushed a little harder on the bike since I was't feeling too bad. The rough roads were giving me a lot of trouble and I couldn't push as hard as I should have.

Again start earlier in the race where I should have because I wouldn't have had to pass so many people and I would have had others to chase down.

This was a pretty decent transition for me although I think I could have done a little better getting my shoes off and the running shoes on. Spent some time still thinking about how slow the bike seemed to go.

GO FASTER.

Way too slow for me. I had some people that I could have chased down but wasn't sure what my energy level would be towards the end. I had a difficult time managing my breathing, but still felt some kick in my legs. I just could go any faster which means more run training.

Train harder on the run. I need to spend more time running than I do anything else. If I can lose weight and run faster then I could be competitive in my age group.

Spent some time with the family and encouraged my friends to come in.
