Comments:

Missed the indication that I was done with the swim, swam an extra 25 meters! ahhh. oh well, I was doing great for the first 250 meters then fell behind a little on the next 250, and then fell apart for the 250.
Transition 1
  • 00m
Comments:

Shirt took a long time to get on, slowed me down. I tried clipping the shoes in before and it seemed to work a little better.
What would you do differently?:

I will probably put a rubber band on the shoes and connect it to the frame so that the shoes aren't going everywhere when I hope on the bike. Also, I need to practice this a little more to get my times down on this transition.

Comments:

Fastest bike I've ever had. I kept the pace around 20-22 mph the entire time.
What would you do differently?:

Find somewhere to put the Hammer Gel after I finish it!
Transition 2
  • 00m
Comments:

Fastest second transition yet. I already was out of the bike shoes and had my gloves off. \
Run
  • 24m 55s
  • 3.11 miles
  • 08m 01s  min/mile
Comments:

SLOW! I was hurting on this run. My legs tightened up way too much and it felt horrible! The run is my strongest event but this time is was horrible. Usually I put my run time below 20 minutes, but not today.
What would you do differently?:

Figure out how to get rid of the pain in my legs!

Event comments:

I've ran this twice now, and I'm not impressed with the organization at all. None of my times were logged except for the swim. They messed up a few of my friends times as well. I think it would be a better race if they had someone else timing the race for them, or at the most, get a chip system as that has been very helpful in other races I've done.
