Breaststroke almost 100% of the time.. I was very pleased with how I did for the most part though - I knew my swim would be my weakest point. Glad the water was warm too :)
What would you do differently?:

Need to really improve my freestyle stroke!!! Try to get more pool time this winter and possibly hire a coach!

Comments:

Got shoes and helmet on very easily. Yay!
What would you do differently?:

I need to figure out the transition a little better.. such as when can I officially jump on bike, etc.

This was a nice ride. I felt good the whole time and never got passed by any other mountain bikes. Surprised as how good I kept my pace up.
What would you do differently?:

I definitely need a road bike.. Probably next season!

Comments:

Just racked my bike and took off my helmet, and put on race belt. Very quick since I didn't need to change shoes.
What would you do differently?:

I don't think I would do anything differently.

Loved the run...I felt GREAT and did not feel tired at all. I was surprised. And I finished strong.
What would you do differently?:

Bring an extra pair of running shoes! Before I took them off to get ready for the swim, I noticed my air pocket on one of my heels was popped!
