Comments:

Decent, ran into a wall of slow swimmers first 2-300 meters, started half way close to front, but nobody got going it seemed, I'm slow, but common, start moving within a min or two of the canon people.

What would you do differently?:

Start at front and let people run over me, vs the other

Transition 1

10m 3s

Comments:

My first IM transition. I'm know I'm slow people, but keep the forward prgress moving. I came into trans to do a full clothes change, no open chairs, it was happy hour in there, so rather than wait, I changed right in the middle of the isle and got going. Funny thing is same people were sitting in chairs having happy hour as when I got in there??????????

Bike

6h 30m 9s
112 miles
17.22 mile/hr

Comments:

Never road over 56 miles in my life, this should be interesting. Well everyone passed me on the first lap, but I kept my pace and kept getting faster and faster, passing every back that passed me on the first lap plu about 250. Needless to say on lap three I felt like a pro passing everyone in site.

Transition 2

04m 7s

Comments:

Once again people, this isn't happy hour, stopped at the porta potty, got shoes on and got moving.

Run

6h 10m 30s

Not, good, not bad, considering I've only ran 13.1 miles twice, and 15 once, this was good. Kept up the run walk shuffle, didn't actually walk till about mile 14 when I realized people were walking up curry road as fast, if not faster than I was running
