Not my finest moment. Swim was last, and my heart rate was still high from the bike. Had to run about 200m of frozen ground to the pool entrance and feet went numb. Got in water and apparently did not adjust goggles properly. They preceded to be an issue throughout the swim. Had to stop two or three times and readjust. With that going on, never really got into a rhythm.

Well, the next two races have the swim first, so that will really help. More time in the water during training should help, too. I would really like to become a better swimmer.

This was a run-bike transition, and it went well. I had the quickest one of the women, and faster than two of the top 3 guys. Glad I decided to go with clipped-in shoes this time.

Nothing.

2nd fastest of ladies.

Should have worn gloves. Definitely need to train more. Also, misjudged finish and took shoes off about half mile too early. Probably cost me 15 seconds.

Bike- swim. Slow transition. Hit transition as the same time as the girl who would finish 2nd OA. That was a bit disheartening because I knew with my lack of swim skills I would finish third.

My fingers were numb so I struggled putting on swim cap and getting undressed. At least I won't have to do this transition until next winter again.

I am not a 5K runner. I was too conservative, and just starting to feel good when the run ended.

Need speed work.

Quckly went to a hot shower.


Running= speed work. Biking= hills. Swimming= ability. Wearing gloves. Taking bike shoes off too early.


Love the Headfirst Performance races.
