Slow, but not the worst. Followed plan of ascending splits.

Learn to run even faster?

Couldn't get clips to go in, annoying, but not earth shattering.

Get clips in better

Comments:

Was very happy with bike course.
What would you do differently?:

Would actually push just a bit more if I could, and attack at opportune times. Could have been top ten easy (less than 10 seconds seperate me and several spots)
Transition 2
  • 01m 5s
Comments:

Really didn't loose too much time here. Pretty solid overall.
What would you do differently?:

Attack transition more aggresively (to affect bike split)

Comments:

Pushed as hard as I could with dying, literally. Achieved goal of ascending split.
What would you do differently?:

Not much actually. Until I learn to just run faster, this is a top performance. Best ever actually!
Post race
Warm down:

Chug accelerade.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

My weight.... get skinnier
