Swim
Comments: horrible beginning. 1st ows! found my rhythm last half of the swim. What would you do differently?: find my rhythm at the swims beginning Transition 1
Comments: i had to wait at transition bike out bc some guy flipped over his tribike on dismount and broke bones right in front of us... Bike
Comments: i usually pop a gel at the beginning of the ride and at the end...i forgot them at transition...boo What would you do differently?: pedal faster, sprint the uphills better, Transition 2
Comments: powder in the running shoes worked great to avoid a sticky slip in... What would you do differently?: run harder. i felt i was trotting until the turnaround point. Pressure myself to sprint the whole 3 miles Run
Comments: note to self: dont wear saucony racers on offroad trail!!!! i felt every rock dig into my foot at each step. made for uncomfortable run and slowed me down alot! What would you do differently?: trail runners for off road. Post race
Warm down: apple, stretch, coke, water What limited your ability to perform faster: lack of swim ability- need more practice in ows wrong running shoes Event comments: The race itself was great, but due to the lack of prep for parking and for spectator support, i downgrade this race. Also, they said they had professional parking services shuttling and directing?! They were the worst. I stood at the parking site onsite and watched 2 guys verbally duke it out how to attach a trailer to a truck. only to have it fall off when pulling away!!! no thanks- we decided to walk. My mom had to walk over a mile with me carrying her chair and cooler (since this was to be a closed race course) just to get to the transition- shame on SetUp Events!
