 Swim
Comments: The swim wasn't too bad, I did not have to fight off a crowd and was able to get into quick comfortable pace for myself without gassing up at the end. What would you do differently?: Stay consistent with my swim training  Transition 1
 Bike
Comments: I was hoping for a faster time closer to 40m and faster than my previous bike split in February, but I was nearing the peak of my first ever Olympic Triathlon. I had only been training for 3 weeks consistently prior to this race as I had taken off 6 weeks of training prior to that. For the first time, I even took unvelcroed my tri shoes off the bike while i was still pedaling, this helped shaved a lot of time out of my transition into the run. What would you do differently?: Continue to stay consistent with my trainingcycling 3x a week. Transition 2
 Run
Comments: I've been training to run sockless and it paid off during my transition. I had to walk through the aid stations but was still surprised with my time. What would you do differently?: I need to focus on running more often and more consistently as the run is the weakest of all 3 legs. When I was running 4x a week, I had an easier time running without cramping. Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster: Fitness level and lack of consistent training leading up to the race. Event comments: Overall, I am pleased as this was a new PR for me at this race. I think I owe a lot to minor changes such as running sockless and getting my feet out of my tri shoes towards the end of the bike leg. I can now see how having a fast transition can help shave minutes off the total race time. Last updated: 2012-06-27 12:00 AM

TRI-FAMILY RACING
95F / 35C
Overcast
Overall Rank = 50/81
Age Group = 25-29
Age Group Rank = 5/7
Got up around 3:50am and started off by hydrating and drinking 16oz of water. Ate a bowl of cereal and had all my stuff already setup the night before ready to go in the car. Got there around 4:40 and suprisingly the parking lot was full. Got a decent spot in transition area despite the front and middle areas being all full.
Transition Area closed at 5:00am however the Maxi Tri did not start until 6:40. So just sat around and waited while I chatted with friends.
