Comments:

It is what I expected.
What would you do differently?:

Get a better top. Too much drag. I need a skin suit.
Transition 1
  • 00m
Comments:

I believe the time was included in the bike time. Transition was ok. I had to push a spectator out of the way. I felt bad and was hoping Travis didn't see. Well, he did... and took a picture of it. Proof that I am a wee bit competitive. Got to my bike. Used the guys next to me towel cause I forgot mine. Sorry dude. Putting on my helmet, crap it broke. So I was able to make it look like it was functional and I was outta there.
What would you do differently?:

Not break my helmet, and push the guy alittle harder. Looking at the picture, doesn't look like much of a push.

Comments:

Well, I ran the entire run. I haven't trained on the trails, so I guess it went ok. It's just disappointing when I know I can run a better race on the road.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked a lot

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Should've took in some endrolytes on the bike. Need to get a bento box.

Event comments:

It's a great start race for the season. Tests your ablilites early on. Great for practice and just get out and race. Love to race, love to compete.
Thanks for reading... more to come as my season progresses!
