Swim

  • 875 yards
  • 02m 43s / 100 yards
Comments:

Swam an extra 60 yards because I kept zig-zagging. Going in wrong direction a lot. Really need more swim practice and time.
What would you do differently?:

Sight better. Practice more.
Transition 1
  • 02m 4s
Comments:

Very pleased with this transition. I had practiced clipping shoes into the bike in advance. I'm blessed that my feet are small and my clearance from ground is large. Didn't need rubber bands. Worked pretty well.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing, good transition for me, finally!

Good bike leg for me. Would really like to get faster. I had ridden this course several times, so knew what to expect.
What would you do differently?:

Keep training, more intervals and more hill practice.

Again, pretty good transition for me. Practice paid off.
What would you do differently?:

Not much. Just keep practicing.

Pretty good run for me. Some mud from rain the night before. Ran most of it. Was thankful not to have any cramping this time. Poured water on my core at every water stop.
What would you do differently?:

Keep training.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around. Missed getting food. Had a Magner's pear cider.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Age and training.
