Swim
Comments: Still have a LOT of work to do on my swim. What would you do differently?: More practice Transition 1
Bike
What would you do differently?: Just need to get more comfortable and establish a good cadence. Transition 2
Comments: Not a big deal. I'm still using cages so I changed shoes after swim. What would you do differently?: Practice once I go to clips. Run
Comments: Could not stretch legs out and got comfortable with slower then normal pace because people were walking. What would you do differently?: Run my own race next time. Take a couple seconds to stretch quads of the bike to get legs going quicker. Start final kick earlier. Waited until last 1/2 mile to pick up pace. Should have started increasing pace sooner. Post race
Warm down: Walked it off, light stretch followed by energry drink and a banana. Then a cold beer. What limited your ability to perform faster: Not enough training. Need to do more bricks to get body used to transition. Run was way slow because of tiredness from swim and cramping on bike. Event comments: First Triathlon, so comparing to runs.
