Started near the back and stayed there. This was basically my first time with the wetsuit it felt kind of restricting, and I am not sure if I would have been better off w/out it. Did a lot of breast stroke, but people near me were doing free and not going any faster.

More swimming for me! I'm sure lessons are in my future.

Really slow - I did not stress this prior to the event and really took my time - but noticed everyone who finished ahead of me spent at least 2- 2:30 less in the transition area.

Get in and get out. I realize my little rests may have helped a bit but I don't think I would have performed much different out on the course had I hustled through.

I think the bike is my strength. After a poor swim and slow transition passed quite a few people. Probably could have had a better mph but got stuck behind a cement mixer for a while, and it seemed like the first and last mile were single file in and out of the park. Brutal hill for me at the end.

Try and drink a little water. I only have been getting on my bike about once per week. Messed up shifting on the big downhill - could not get back to the big ring and did not take advantage of the hill. A little more time in the saddle will help.

Again took my time in the transition went into my bag to find my visor which I failed to lay out. Also needed some water and stood there while I drank the whole glass.

Go faster - better prepared. Possibly bring a bottle of water w/ me.

I felt like I was running for an hour and it would never end. MEt my goal of < 8 min miles.

I need to train in the heat. Up to this point I have always trained early in the morning which makes the 90 degree days difficult.

Walked around. Lots of water and gatorade. Some stretching


Lame effort in the transition area. I will hustle through next time.


I thought it was well run. The only things I did not like were the single file cycling exiting and entering the park. I also almost ran people over during the run because the station was only on one side.
