Went out fast and was too excited. Breathing hard at first. Had to pass a guy on 2nd length. Got into a good rhythym at 150 yds. Passed a couple of others as they slowed near end.

Work on smooth pace, turns and underwater glide. After exiting pool, dropped cap and goggles on deck. Stopped and picked up costing 15 seconds.

Trouble getting wet feet into bike shoes. Sat on ground. Shoe slipped getting into clips.

Run faster. Put left shoe in securely before mounting.

Overall felt great. Road was partly wet. Passed about 15 riders and was passed by 2.

Pay more attention to gearing.

Accidently shifted off big ring for a bit before I realized it. Going too fast into dismount area. Forgot to get out of shoes. Unclipped shoes but slight fall on dismount to avoid a crash in front of me. Lost some knee skin. Took time to get out of shoes before putting on run shoes.

Lesson learned - slow down and exit shoes earlier. Practice dismount 25 times before next race.

Felt very tight wtihout spring for first 1/2 nile. Messed around putting number belt on. Had to stop and walk to get it on.

Stand up and stretch on bike before. Get a better number belt.

Walked around, slight stretching.


Nerves, lack of experience with transitions. Need to work on running speed.
