Comments:

Very good swim. Much improved from last tri. I swam in the pack this time. I was out of the water in about 15 minutes. It took a little over a minute to get to the transition area.
What would you do differently?:

Keep on working on technique
Transition 1
  • 01m 3s
Comments:

Had trouble snapping helmet strap and putting on socks. I put baby powder in socks which helped them slide on quicker. My heartrate was sky high and I was breathing heavily.
What would you do differently?:

Practice transition with a high heartrate.
Bike

  • 11.8 miles
  • 19.25 mile/hr
Comments:

Trouble mounting. I had difficulty clipping in (need new cleats) and I was in a hard gear. The chain then popped off as I shifted to an easier gear. Once I got going, the ride was great. There were long stretches with a very gradual uphill and down hill. The last few miles were slightly downhill.
What would you do differently?:

Easier gear at the beginning and new cleats. I need to be careful cornering.
Transition 2
  • 00m 39s
Comments:

Good transition.
Run
  • 23m 44s
  • 3.11 miles
  • 07m 38s  min/mile
Comments:

Good run. Last mile and a half I was booking it.
What would you do differently?:

I need to run on more hills.
