Comments:

Poor swim - Could not control good breathing rythum
What would you do differently?:

Train more for cardio and distance training
Transition 1
  • 02m 26s
Comments:

Ran into transtion but walked to station due to heart rate and heavy breathing. Extreemly exhusted from swim slowed transition time. Wetsuit stuck at ankles and had to reattach velcro timing chip. Good shoeless jump mount, but very slow to get up to speed and trouble with putting feet into shoes once at speed.
What would you do differently?:

Train getting to max speed prior to putting feet into shoes

Comments:

Really struggled starting the first 5 miles. Lost a lot of energy (cardio) from swim. Had little strength going into wind and hills.
What would you do differently?:

Get up to speed faster then put feet into shoes. Train more on hills
Transition 2
  • 01m 1s
Comments:

Great running dismount. Trouble with putting shoes
What would you do differently?:

Run with visor and racing belt rather than putting it on in transition.
