Started in the middle of the pack at the back. Did not find a good rhythm, kept bumping into people. Swam front crawl without stopping for rest. Good finish, jogged out of the water ready for the bike.
What would you do differently?:

Start at the front or to the side.

My T2 was slow. It was in a grassy area and I forgot my towel. Used a rag to get grass off my feet before putting on my shoes.
What would you do differently?:

Bring a large towel to quickly clean my feet.

I attacked the hills and recovered on the flats. Lost speed and time on the fastest part of the decent on a blind corner where someone had an accident. Top speed was 36 mph. Used a road bike with gatorskins and no aero bars.
What would you do differently?:

Train more hills, get aero bars for the flats

Felt slow, trouble again cleaning grass off my feet.

What would you do differently?:

Nothing. This was a great run for me. Huge improvement over my first tri. Just need to train more.

The triathlon made a lot of sense as I could fit the training around early mornings and other times that wouldn't eat too much into my family time. Things never go completely to plan do they?

Both the Lake Triathlon Shoe CX210TRI and the Lake Road Shoe CX225 offer distinct advantages. I tested both shoes and found them to be extremely comfortable, good looking and durable.
