Comments:

This was fast paced and had a pretty major hill in it. Thought my pacing was pretty good considering what was coming up on second run.
What would you do differently?:

Maybe slightly faster.
Transition 1
  • 00m 50s
Comments:

Ground was just soaking wet from 5 days of nonstop raining. Decided to not have my shoes clipped in hoping that would save my feet a little bit of dampness.
What would you do differently?:

Put my bike closer to the transition exit. Lost a lot of time because of this but there were puddles everywhere!

Comments:

Think I could have pushed a bit harder on this if I wanted to. Think I had more energy than I was really expecting.

When I got off the bike I was in 5th place.
Transition 2
  • 00m 33s
Comments:

Once again because of how wet everything was I decided to stay clipped. Making my bike dismount rather slow but that's ok.
Run
  • 19m 20s
  • 3 miles

Comments:

WOW! Was feeling awesome for this portion of the race. Could really feel all the practice of the BRBRBR's I've been doing.

My splits were:
1. 6:49
2. 6:36
3. 5:55

The climbs in mile 1 were horrible! But the downhills helped make up the time in mile 3.
What would you do differently?:

Not sure anything...

Event comments:

They had a lot of problems come up that were out of their control and I thought they did a very good job dealing with them.

Would recommend an ATC race to anyone.
