Pleased with my first tri swim, was quite anxious before race as this was the only unknown for me.
Transition 1
  • 05m 7s
Comments:

Didn't change out of swimsuite, used running shoes so no shoes connected to bike. Took my time making sure I had everything before leaving, as it was very hot and I had my water/gatorade bottles in a cooler.

Didn't push myself too hard as it was so hot and I didn't want to bonk before evening running or bonk during the run.
What would you do differently?:

Push harder

Comments:

Running is my strength, but with the heat it was brutal. Again, just like the bike it was difficult to know how much to push myself without bonking. Afterall, I wanted to finish after training for so long and having the goal for over a year. I actually had to walk a couple of times because the humidity combined with the heat was so intense.
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

The high heat - 95 to 97 degrees and high humidity - 95% inhibited my speed and ability to push myself.
