I started off great and kind of went downhill after that. Initially I was hoping to do around 30 minutes for the swim and I wanted to make sure that I took my time and concentrate on my form. Well, when I started to take my time, my form fell apart. My hips sank and I was certainly creating drag. However, anytime I don't drown, the swim is good.

Concentrate more on my form.

Transition was just transition.

I'm realizing more and more that my cycling is horrible. I really need to "ride lots" and get better. I know that it will come, but it gets frustrating.

Spend more time concentrating on my riding.

Transition was just transition.

I had a good run considering that my swim and bike didn't go so well. Running is my most comfortable aspect of the tri. I felt strong and I didn't have too many issues concerning my legs transitioning from cycling to running. It went very smooth.

This race went well for me. My main concern was just finishing and making sure that I survived. I was a little frustrated with my swimming and biking, but hopefully things will get better because it has to. I really enjoyed the race and even though I did it faster last year, I felt the race was better organized this year. I will come back next year.
