Comments:

Went with the "Relaxed Wave". I will go with age group next time. I was a bit concerned with this being my 1st Tri. Swam mostly breaststroke. Working on more Freestyle, my goal for this winter.
What would you do differently?:

Felt pretty good, just need to work on the Freestyle.
Transition 1
  • 03m 44s
Comments:

Need to leave shoes attached to pedals. I didn't work on this technique before the Tri, so that is a practice I need to pick up.
What would you do differently?:

Need to cut about a minute off this time.
Bike

What would you do differently?:

Hill work and more strength training.
Transition 2
  • 02m 55s
What would you do differently?:

Be a bit quicker. Thought I laid everything out the way I wanted, but I have some room for improvement.
Run
  • 26m 15s
  • 2.5 miles
  • 10m 30s  min/mile
Comments:

I came off the bike and I was afraid my calves were going to cramp up, so I started slow.
What would you do differently?:

I need to take in more fluids and pace a bit better. I can certainly run harder than I did.
Post race
Warm down:

Took it easy and rooted on my wife at the finish.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Nutrition--Didn't eat well enough the week prior and paid for it.
Hills---Need to work on hills on the bike.
Strength---Need to add this to my training, will probabaly help me lose some unwanted weight that I am carrying around.

Course: The new bike course was fairly smooth most of the way. More hills than I expected. I did drive the course, but didn't take into account that hills in a car aren't the same as on a bike. I felt like I was doing interval training vs. having a good pace.
