Comments:

5th out of the water in my wave, although I didn't feel like I ever got comfortable. constantly worried about getting off course.
What would you do differently?:

More open swims, and more confidence in my navigation and swimming skills
Transition 1
  • 00m
Comments:

Had to put on shirt with number already attached to the front. What a pain in the ass. Shirt is a zip up, so that didn't work too well. Race director said no race belts, so it was the same for everyone I guess.
What would you do differently?:

Race belt, and maybe try to figure out a better way to get out of the suit

Have got to get better on the uphill climbs.
What would you do differently?:

I thought I paced myself well, just didn't climb very well
Transition 2
  • 00m
Comments:

pretty good transition everything went smooth
What would you do differently?:

calm down a little and catch my breath
Run
  • 22m 24s
  • 3 miles
  • 07m 28s  min/mile
Comments:

Didn't feel racy at all. Basically just survived the run.
What would you do differently?:

go a little easier the last 1/2 mile of the bike, and try to get the blood moving
Post race
Warm down:

ate some oranges, stretched a little, and watched some of the finish

Event comments:

I had a blast. It was tough, but I'm fairly pleased with the results for my first real Triathlon.

Way to go, fantastic times.

how did you like the hill on Welsh drive? I had a total blast going down it, but I forgot to downshift so when I rounded the corner I headed up T Brook dirve in 13th gear...ooooff had to turn back downhill and downshift..

Anyway, congrats...
