Comments:

First hill put me into distress. I was very reserved over the rest of the bike ride and felt too good by the end.
What would you do differently?:

I would have payed a little more attention to the course profile and take it out a little harder knowing it was mostly downhill on the way back.
Transition 2
  • 00m 54s
Comments:

Love my Zoot shoes but they have been pretty difficult to put on in the last two races when my feet are damp. This usually leads to calf cramping before the run.
What would you do differently?:

More body glide on my shoes.

Was anxious about the distance and held a good tempo that would keep me from blowing up. Was happy with my time but know that I should be able run a faster pace by now.

Run with a higher tempo/pace

Short run and lots of fluids

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Longer distance than I have done in the sprints

This race was my third of the season and overall. It was a tough race but a good challenge for me.
