Swim
Comments: It wasn't as bad as it looked. Overall, I totally surprised myself with how fast I was able to go and I was able to slow myself down when I began to get winded. What would you do differently?: I might swim further into the shore as it seemed hard to walk in that deep of water. Transition 1
Comments: I must get faster at T1. What would you do differently?: I will probably practice this transition as much as possible. I think rolling up the sock is a good idea. (Thanks Jerry) Getting better laces and I'll just have to do a bunch of reading to figure things out. Bike
Comments: What a great new bike. So fast and so easy to ride!!!! I love to pass people on mountain bikes. This was the first time I had passed anyone ever!!! What would you do differently?: I would improve my overall conditioning so that I can keep up a faster cadence overall. I will practice more on hills because the same people that I passed on the flat passed me going up hill. I want shave about 10 or 15 minutes off that time. That will be a big goal. Transition 2
Comments: This transition is really fast because I ride in my running shoes. What would you do differently?: Nothing Run
Comments: I attained my goal of running the whole thing except the hill which doesn't count because I was unable to train for that. What would you do differently?: Train, Train, Train!!!!! I need to go way faster to compete at the level that I want to. Post race
Warm down: Crossed the finish line, grabbed some water and a bagel. Spent some time eating then just left. What limited your ability to perform faster: I was really sick the two weeks before the race. I think that not being able to train for those two weeks really made a difference. I have to remember that I am improving with every week. I just want to be a MOP'er not a BOP'er Last updated: 2012-07-23 12:00 AM
