Comments:

that was a very hilly course. but the 3 miles of climbing i did were worth it when i came back down. i hit like 38 and held that for 4 minutes or so.
What would you do differently?:

work on climbing and get better acclimated to the altitude.

bike to swim. it was a reverse tri. i dont reccomend having a transition area in a gravel parking lot. it hurts bare feet. it was a good transition tho

nothing

hardest run i've ever done of any ditance. the hills were killers. and i almost fell but i saved myself. oh and altitude doesnt help any.
What would you do differently?:

just plain old run more
Post race
Warm down:

sat in the hottub after the swim and stretched. my legs dont hurt too bad now

What limited your ability to perform faster:

lack of training and the altitude

Event comments:

the transition area coudla been a lot better and more organized, but considering this was the frst year for this course, it was very good overall
