 Swim
Comments: Poor swim. 50m pool, which I have only swam in once. Not sure why it is different, but it definitely is! Breast stroked most. Difficulty with pacing. I can't say I panic exactly, but I am just not comfortable with freestyle and breathing. I think I maybe give up too easy. What would you do differently?: Need to push myself harder to keep at it, but relax at the same time. I tried to talk to myself as I was swimming, remembering all I have learned, but have to keep working at it.  Transition 1
Comments: Had socks powdered, shoes ready to go. Threw jacket on, helmet on, and go. No issues. T1 time indicated was just for run from swim exit to transition What would you do differently?: Nothing.  Bike
Comments: Felt pretty good on the bike. Weaved a bit more than I would like, need to work on that. What would you do differently?: Nothing, really, just need to keep working. Transition 2
Comments: Racked bike, helmet off, bike shoes off, running shoes on, go. What would you do differently?: Nothing.  Run
Comments: Went out really fast, despite not feeling that way! Under 5min/km. Recognized and walked about 30 secs to reset pace. Then was good. What would you do differently?: Could have pushed harder at this distance. Post race
Warm down: Walked around a bit and stretched. Had a few snacks. What limited your ability to perform faster: Inexperience. Last updated: 2012-03-11 12:00 AM

Master 4452 | Subject: RE: UBC REC Triathlon - Sprint Course Hi Dave, Thanks. I just put some baby powder in my socks and then rolled the tops down to make them easier to get on to wet feet! Worked great! |

Had a light breakfast of yogurt and a banana. Cup of coffee. Packed all the night before, just had to get it all in the car.
Not enough. I need to make sure I warm up well before swim. Wasn't really anywhere to get some warmup laps in, which I really need. Felt good about my transition set up, all was ready to go.
