Comments:

I took it easy. I just wasn't sure how I would do after getting out if I swam at my regular pace. I wasn't looking to win. This was really just for fun and experience.
What would you do differently?:

Swim faster next time.

Comments:

Indoor bike. Much easier to transition. But I could have done with a few hills!
What would you do differently?:

Bring different shorts! OUCH!
Bike
  • 44m 6s
  • 9.3 miles
  • 12.65 mile/hr
Comments:

No matter what they said indoor trainers are a LOT of work. Sure there's not hills but there's no free rolling down hills either. It's constant and it sucked!
What would you do differently?:

Cycle outside!
Transition 2
  • 00m
Comments:

I was completely ready to go.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing.
Run

  • 12m 51s  min/mile
Comments:

I walked most of the 5K. I struggled with breathing at the start but after a couple of laps walking I got into the run.
What would you do differently?:

Train more at running.
Post race
Warm down:

Warm shower and a seat as well as some homemade peanut butter sandwich cookies.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

My lack of running skills.

Event comments:

The people at Trifreak are just so helpful but because I was in the last wave there were no water stands on the run and the massage lady left after the 3rd wave which really was unhelpful as I cramped up at the end.
