Comments:

fumbled around a bit with glasses, gloves, shoes and belt. wasn't the fastest T1 for sure !!
Bike
  • 1h 09m 42s
  • 24.85 miles
  • 21.39 mile/hr
Comments:

road was generally smooth but a number of areas were rough, esp on the return leg. lots of inexperienced bikers in this tri.

felt good over Diamond Head, starting to open up as I got onto the highway out to Hawaii Kai. Headwinds were annoying but not too bad. Heartbreak hill wasn't a problem, and had a pretty good return leg. Although some headwinds (unexpected) on the return. Rough roads too.
Transition 2

Run
  • 48m 8s
  • 6.21 miles
  • 07m 45s  min/mile
Comments:

felt strong on the run, always hoping for a sub 45, but maybe next year.

the difference from last year is I had more power to do something on the run whereas last year I was struggling to get it done. I'd attribute that to more training this year.
Post race
Warm down:

walked around, drank amino vital (love AV) ate a few apples. then went over to the sunday market and got a plate lunch.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

oh not sure except for more relentless training ?

Event comments:

love the Tinman. fun race for all.

Great race! Especially the bike, way to smoke it. T1 was a little slow though, did you walk from the water?

My advice, ditch the gloves and maybe the socks. I never ride my bike with socks on rides less than about 80 miles now.

For a 40K TT or shorter, I don't bother with gloves and socks. Your hands and feet are wet and trying to put fabric on over wet skin is annoying.
