Swim
Comments:
Great swim, felt really strong and consistentWhat would you do differently?:
Start at the front of my wave instead of the back - my last two races have shown I no longer need to start in the back, lost some time fighting through those in front of me.
Push a little harder on the final third of the swim.
T1
Comments:
First time trying a flying start with shoes already on the bike, went smooth but need to make it happen a little faster.
Long run from swim to transition - 500mWhat would you do differently?:
need to get a tri-suit, bike jersey got stuck when putting it on wet.
Bike
Comments:
Felt good on the bike and hit my goal of 19mph just about right on. Pleased with sub-3hr time.What would you do differently?:
Need to add aero bars and keep increasing time on the bike to ge my average over 20
T2
Comments:
Good transition, not much to add.What would you do differently?:
Freeze a water bottle and leave in transition, warm water wasn't that satisfying
Run
Comments:
Miserable run, worst half I've ever run. Walked all the hills and then some. Course was hot.What would you do differently?:
More time with post bike long runs. Need more salt intake.
