Comments:

Tried to stay long and smooth.
Still think I may have gone a little harder than I have to.
What would you do differently?:

Relax coming out of water to get my thoughts for T1.
Transition 1
  • 02m 1s
Comments:

Need to get shoes that I can pre-clip.
I know I am losing 30-40 seconds by having to put on my shoes in T1 and then running with bike, then stopping to mount my bike.
What would you do differently?:

1. Relax going into transition. I am trying to rush too much and it is slowing me down.
2. Buy shoes that I can slip into while clipped on bike. (For next season)

Nothing
Run

  • 3.11 miles
  • 07m 20s  min/mile
Comments:

I am letting my heart rate get too high and it is limiting my ability to hold the pace I want to go. Data shows it drifting up as I go.
Also thought it was 3.3 mile (no idea why). Could have picked pace up .3 miles earlier. Had way too much of a kick. Data shows that I was going sub 5 minute miles for last .1 mile
What would you do differently?:

Know the distance.
Relax more in early part of run to keep heart rate down.
Post race
Warm down:

You are supposed to warm down?
Ate pizza, drank coffee andl talked to other athletes.



What limited your ability to perform faster:

Time to train harder

Event comments:

Considering this was not may A race and that I really was not concerned about how I did, I am very happy. Qualified for age group nationals. WOW.
