Run
Comments: My take on the first run is start @ the very back & take it ez with a nice even 7:30 splits.... I felt like that pushing the first run doesn't set me up for a good bike... goal Accomplished!!!! What would you do differently?: I hate starting out fast only to get passed by faster runners... Mentally speaking it doesn't do anything for me.... Figured this race I would pass slower runners by starting @ the back of the pack... This cost a few seconds on my overall time. The benefits out weigh the loss of time Transition 1
Comments: Had some issues clicking into my shoes... Need to practice having my shoes locked into the pedals & jumping on... I keep telling myself this Bike
Comments: Just haven't biked that much this year.... avg should have been better... but I had fun What would you do differently?: train more... Only trained about 8 months in the last 2 years Transition 2
Comments: felt like I was going very slow Run
Comments: Thought I could avg. 7:30's for this run ha ha ha.... Spent the rest of the run getting passed by those I caught on bike portion.... Good times Saw Pete coming back about a 1/4 mile before I hit the turnaround.... Dude was looking strong At the end of the race I would SWEAR that someone was trying to pass me at the finish (or as I would say going "Jones" one me ha ha sorry Jones)... So I started sprinting as hard as I could.... Only to ask my wife & Pete if they noticed someone trying to overtake me @ the line.... No one was trying to pass me... Odd What would you do differently?: not sure.... I think it's just a matter of time before I can run a 6:xx for the first run & 7:xx for the 2nd run... it's all good... Post race
Warm down: My wife found me to shade & babied me :) What limited your ability to perform faster: Temps in the upper 80's.... 15 mph headwind of the south... Event comments: Good race... had fun... will do it again next year.... oh the pain of child birth is so short lived Last updated: 2010-07-07 12:00 AM
