This was not a great swim for me. I can do better and am not sure why my time was so slow. My training partner and I usually swim 1500m at a faster pace.

I'm not sure.

This was only my second time doing a T1 and it was much better than last time. I could actually run from the water and to the mount line! I felt great and got moving on the bike quickly.

I forgot my sunglasses and a stick of gum. Two very important things to me.

I gained a couple of positions on the cycle. Felt great.

I got caught behind someone slower than me going into the wind. Didn't know if it would be advantageous to pass because it would have taken a lot of energy going into the wind. In hind-sight I would have gone for it!

I think I am going to practice taking my feet out of my shoes while coming up to the transition.

I am thinking I'll pickup a different lacing system. Got a major calf cramp trying to put on my runners.

I had a hard time getting my legs going in the proper run motion. It took a bit too long for them to loosen up. I had fun on the run and was please that I didn't have to walk any. This was my first time at this distance and I really wanted not to walk. I'm glad I did it!

I think I will increase my cadence at the end of the cycle in order to loosen up my legs. Hopefully that will enable me to get "running" faster.

I had a lot of fun and the volunteers were very helpful and informative!
