Comments:

I was absolutely HORRIBLE in the swim. Wow. With this being my first OWS I was shooked at how bad I did. I could not catch my breath at all. I got tired really quick.
What would you do differently?:

More OWS practice.
Transition 1
  • 02m
Comments:

I had one problem. When I pinned my number onto my shirt I went through the back of the shirt with two pins. I could have sworn I checked that. When I tried to put on my shirt to my surprise I couldn't. Got one undone and darnit, another one was through the back.
What would you do differently?:

Double, triple check that the darn pins aren't through the back or just get a belt and pin it to that.

I am ok with the bike ride since I picked up my first bike on Saturday. Riding the stationary bike in the gym is no where close to a real bike but overall I am happy.
What would you do differently?:

More riding!

Comments:

Since I don't have clipless pedals I was all ready for the run. All I had to do was rack and remove helmet and I was on my way.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing.

Comments:

I am happy with this time since the bike was my first ride on a bike. A completely different set of muscles were used compared to the stationary bike.
What would you do differently?:

More bricks with my new bike now :-)
Post race
Warm down:

Banana and water then some easy stretching.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I just need to get more practice and continue what I am doing.

Event comments:

I give it best just because it was my first. The one I will always remember.

Congratulations on your first tri!!!!!!  I wish my good swim could be 8:something for a quarter mile.  You did just fine!

Good luck this summer at your other races.  Ever thought about coming out to Ashtabula in July for my YMCA's sprint tri?  Fun event.  Usually around 100 people.  Very low key.

Well, if not, maybe I'll see you around at another race.  Happy training!

Congratulations on your first event. I did the race, it was a beautiful day! I noticed you had trouble with your race number. I've been there - think about investing in a race belt. They are really cheap and you can DO AWAY WITH THE PINS! I'm also trying not to change any clothes in transition, unless the weather demands it.

Keep up the good work!
