Comments:

Didnt feel like I could get into a groove on the bike. Not sure why. know that I need to change gears more to make the hills easier on myself so I can keep up speed. I was passing people on the bridge though.
What would you do differently?:

Use the gears that I paid for!! This isnt spin class this is a race!! I did end up faster then I felt at the time.

Again kind of a long run to the rack. Need to get the sips on my shoes to shave a few seconds off.

zips on shoes.

Comments:

My weakest link. My legs felt good on the run. But know I can/need to push harder. Felt like I had a quicker turnover in the last two miles. Sprinted the last 300m. Could have done that sooner but was talking to a guy just trying to pass the time.

Did have some what of a full belly getting off the run. strange feeling. Then at about mile 4 had mild cramp in the stomach, ran through and forgot about it.

I finished with energy, like I could keep going. So I didnt kill myself, ut I didnt leave it all on the course either... good thing I will hve another oly in a few weeks I can get it all out then!
What would you do differently?:

run harder, sooner... starting at mile 1!!

Post race
Warm down:

What limited your ability to perform faster:

mental gumption. uncertainty of ability.
