Comments:

My arms got tired pretty quickly. i kept veering off coarse. towards the end of the swim(last 150m) the wetsuit made me feel like i was choking.
However, this was my fastest time in the water ever. i am happy with my results.
What would you do differently?:

work on my breathing. finding a way to keep myself going in the right direction instead of veering off coarse.
Transition 1
  • 02m 26s
Comments:

I had to put my shoes on first since i have road shoes instead of tri/one strap shoes. putting on my socks and shoes took a good amount of time.
What would you do differently?:

find a more efficient way to get my shoes and socks on.
Bike
  • 36m 53s
  • 11.2 miles
  • 18.22 mile/hr
Comments:

my legs felt like jelly. i had no driving power from my quads. then i would sprint up a hill and burn myself out.
What would you do differently?:

train harder for the spinning/time trial aspect of it.
Transition 2
  • 01m 39s
Comments:

i couldn't find my spot on the rack i went down the aisle twice i think and couldn't find my shit. that deffinately killed my time.
What would you do differently?:

remember where my damn bike is and learn how to take off my shoes on the bike. cause i am going to fuck up my cleats if i keep doing what i am doing.
Run
  • 24m 8s
  • 3.1 miles
  • 07m 47s  min/mile
Comments:

my legs burned and didn't feel like they had any power in them. i was able to sprint the last 50 yards but that didn't do me anygood for my age group.
What would you do differently?:

i need to take that energy i had at the end and find a way to disperse it over the whole run.
Post race
Warm down:

i had to stop and sit down so that i didn't throw up at the end. then we went and grilled out burgers.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

insufficient training
