Didn't think I was going to make it a couple of times. This was a really tough event for me. Disappointed in my overall performance....

Really need another cassette to give me more gears for the hills. My cadence was great on the flat, but slowed down considerably on the hills.
What would you do differently?:

Purchase better gearing

Comments:

Felt VERY tired by this point of the event. Legs/quads were rubberized from the hills.
What would you do differently?:

Do more bike to run bricks to acclimate my legs to the required work.

  • 12m 13s  min/mile
Comments:

I was done before I began! I managed an "airborne shuffle" up to the first mile then wound up walking a 1/4 mile. Ran again to the water point and turned around - dumped nice cold water on my head and shuffled some more. My legs were flat out EXHAUSTED from the swim and then the bike. I walked twice more before finishing strong around the lake.
What would you do differently?:

Train harder/better.....or MORE
Post race
Warm down:

stood under the canopy and stretched a bit and drank cold water

What limited your ability to perform faster:

lack of effective training for the event
