  • 547 yards
  • 1h 54m 07s / 100 yards
Comments:

I was stronger then most of the other swimmers. I just need alot more practice in OW swimming, especially in waters that are calm with less bouyancy then the ocean.
Transition 1
  • 06m 53s
Comments:

Umm...I came in 144th in this T. It was a long...1/2 mile hike uphill and through the woods and I was barefoot. I think a little practice on the transitions would have done me alot of good.
What would you do differently?:

practice transitioning from swim to bike.
Bike
  • 40m 8s
  • 10 miles
  • 14.95 mile/hr
What would you do differently?:

I need professional training on the bike so I understand how to efficiently use my energy with the gears. I also think I need to join a cycling club so I can get some outdoor, team experience.
Transition 2
  • 01m 17s
Comments:

I thought my transition was pretty good. I ranked 60th overall and 4th in Athena
What would you do differently?:

I'd practice this specific transition
Run
  • 23m 25s
  • 2 miles
  • 11m 43s  min/mile
Comments:

Compared to my Athena peers I did decent, but compared to everyone else my run needs alot of work.
What would you do differently?:

I'd train mostly outdoors instead of indoor training only.
Post race
Warm down:

Very little. I walked around for a few minutes but was feeling pretty nauseous

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of sleep, cramps, lack of warm up....

Event comments:

It's my only race so far so there's not anything to compare it to. But...i had alot of fun and I'd do it all over again in a NY minute.

Performance: Bad
HORRIBLE. I felt like crap, I was wheezing like crazy and everyone was passing me. i don't know what was so different about this course then VA Beach, but I just felt lost. I was very slow but pushing myself to the max. HR was up around 160 the whole time. I think the gear usage is wrong
