I changed into shoes casually and talked to other BTers b/c i'm just a cool cat like that. Once i got going though i sprinted past everyone and lept onto the bike and took off passing all present.

Comments:

I loved it. Passed everyone i saw (horrible swim seed has its perks) and duelled one guy for the WHOLE time and finally beat him with 1 mile to go.
What would you do differently?:

I'm a cyclist. Um, smash more faces in? Realistically I did no training for this so I should be far faster in the future.
Transition 2
  • 02m 40s
Comments:

Just like the mount i champed this out pretty well. I just have my shoes from my old road/track days so i can't do the whole spiffy tri-shoes thing. They have a ratchet for crying out loud.
What would you do differently?:

Have tri shoes.

  • 2.9 miles
  • 10m 34s  min/mile
Comments:

Dead on run. Didn't overdo it on bike, just no training (ran ONCE the week before) led to drain. Walked about one third of it.
What would you do differently?:

Train. Story of this tri.
Post race
Warm down:

Stretch. Hugs. More Stretch. Cheering Melody and MandiGayle to victory. Sitting.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Not training dumbass.

Event comments:

Ironhead does a very professional race. Loved it.
