![]() Run
Comments: Ran a lot faster than I normally would because I need as many points as possible for Series standings. First time this yr I was able to finish 1st on 1st run segment ![]() Transition 1
Comments: Not sure if I ran too fast on 1st run segment. Transition was slow, helmet straps got tangled and co-ordination was not there to buckle up the helmet quickly. Tried a few times before I was able to get helmet buckled up properly. ![]() Bike
Comments: Again, as this is the last race in season, biked as fast as I can. Passed a ton of people. There was a guy that rode similar pace to mine, and we exchanged leads a few times. There were a couple of people that insisted on riding in the middle of lane and wouldn't even move to the left when I yelled "on the left"!? ![]() Transition 2
Comments: Uneventful ![]() Run
Comments: Ran hard down the finish chute as I thought someone was close behind. You can see the strain on my face in the race pix. This is the first du this season I'm first on the run. ![]() Post race
Event comments: 1st in AG, 5th overall, 2nd fastest overall bike split. Very happy as 1st place got me max pts for Series standings. Looks like I'm the Du Series Champion! Not a bad consolation prize given that I chickened out the 1st tri this season and ended up switching my goal to the du.
