The swim wasn't much of a swim. Most people ran through the water for 50% of it.
Kind of weird to be swimming and see someone running in the water when you turn to breath.

Run with the pack.

So slow compared to those who had finish times around mine. Really need to work on speeding these up. Shaving time off of these makes a bigger difference than i previously thought.

Attach shoes to pedals pre-race, go sock less.

Felt good on the bike, in hindsight i wish i would have gone harder. In my head i said to leave some for the run, but for my first tri im not disappointed.

Go harder on the bike, and go on a bigger gear and a lower cadence.

Not a bad transition, but again need to get faster. Also ended up tipping over on my left side at the dismount line because my left shoe wouldn't unclip, need to work on that.

Dismount with shoes still clipped in, would have saved a lot of time.

Started off too slow on the first mile. As with the bike i wish i would have gone harder. Still happy with the time, but i think a 20:15/20:30 5k would have been easily doable.

Go harder.

Crossed the finish line and found Mckenzie. Got some water then went to the med tent for a bandaid.


For my first tri i wanted to try and have fun yet still go hard. In hindsight i know i could have gone harder, but now i know what i need to work on!


Swim isn't much of a swim, not the organizers fault i just wish it would have been deeper. Good race for my first tri though!
