Took a few extra seconds to get feet into the shoes.

Comments:

Had a problem dismounting and fell on left heel due to right leg getting caught on water bottle cage. NOT GOOD!!!
What would you do differently?:

Need MUCH work on dismounting, especially with the water bottles on the back seat and not down below. But...this is why I signed up for the race...get used to new bike. These mistakes are not forgiven at Nationals.
Transition 2
  • 01m 4s
Comments:

Great rack position...good to be there early.
What would you do differently?:

:45 seconds would be ideal but considering circumstances, time was going to increase slightly.

  • 3.1 miles
  • 07m 02s  min/mile
Comments:

Shin splints and significant pain in heel were not fun. Glad to get in at 21 minutes but without the pains, I could have broken 20.
What would you do differently?:

Practice dismounting off the bike.
Post race
Warm down:

Pancakes!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Poor dismounting off the bike.
