First time staying in the pack, got beat up pretty good.

Transition 1
  • 02m
Comments:

Better this time, will practice a few more times right before the race as I second guessed on the race belt and the gloves
What would you do differently?:

Perhaps no gloves, start 305 after I'm on the bike and going. Should get a better transition time that way. Lap cycle as coming into T2.

Warm down:

Walked around, put my head in the lake.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Training - was out for 4 weeks with injury.

Event comments:

Good race, wish the draws were a bit quicker - perhaps bigger bundles of prizes? And definately not just picking off a list either.

Location was good. Bike is pretty boring as it's just there and back on a dead straight road. But at least it's variety from riding laps through the neighbourhood.
