While I felt like I was swimming well, nice and smooth, when I got out of the pool I was disappointed to see my time was actually slower than last years...I made some gains in my swimming this year, and I expected this race to reflect that.

I thought I could have a decent bike, but it didn't turn ou tthat way. I was hoping for a little stronger tail wind on the way out, and knew I was going to have a strong head wind on the way back in. Just didn't have any bike legs. I didn't get passed by anyone, and I passed 2 people.
What would you do differently?:

Not quit bike training after Boulder in June!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I basically quit the bike and swim training after my 70.3 in June, and have only been running with a few trainer sessions thrown in.

I have always been an athlete, growing up playing team sports like basketball and soccer. I also ran in a couple of 10K races every year, so I had no reason to worry about running a 5K...right?

I couldn’t help but feel that the race had beaten me. Perhaps duathlons were more for me? No, I was more determined than ever to succeed. I was determined to get on top of my swimming.

I am not going to buy a tri-suit before my first tri - I want to make sure I am going to stick with this before I spend a lot of money on it so I want to figure out what will work best.

I couldn't believe that my splits kept getting lower! I started to run harder after I passed the "5 km" sign and picked a few people that I wanted to pass.
