 Swim
Comments: I was on the heels of the person in front of me in the first laps. I passed and moved to the front. Around lap 8 I slowed and moved to the back of the pack. What would you do differently?: Pacing - need to work on consistent pacing and improve my kick. Lots of drills and get some coaching.  Transition 1
Comments: I put on helmet then socks and shoes, took a drink of electrolyte pulled the bike off the rack and headed to the mount line. Got onto bike and began pedaling once I was locked in I headed out. Not and ideal transition by any means. What would you do differently?: Practice transitions. Now that I've been through it I have an idea on what I need to improve on  Bike
Comments: Pushed through - did the best I knew how. What would you do differently?: Pay more attention to proper training techniques. Get some coaching advice and try some spin classes. Transition 2
Comments: Bike shoes off and running shoes on fairly quickly. Took a swig of electrolyte and headed out. What would you do differently?: Get a belt and have some electrolyte on me so I don't waste time in transition drinking.  Run
Comments: Heart rate was in the 153bpm range or zone 3.8. Tried to push harder had a tough time getting my legs going any faster. What would you do differently?: Get some running advice and take a running class to improve Post race
Warm down: Walked a little. What limited your ability to perform faster: Lack of coaching - doing it on my own. Need others to help motivate me to improve. Technique needs to improve in all areas. Based on my times I need to work on: 1. Running 2. Swimming 3. Biking Can't forget to practice transitions too! Event comments: For my first race it was great. I now have one under my belt. Onwards and upwards. I have an Olympic race on July 19th that I'm now going to prepare for... The results area at: http://www.resultscanada.com/results2009/2009_IceBreakerTriathlon/2...
