Comments:

Pretty good overall, considering it was the first with the wetsuit. Need to focus on sighting a little better without stopping.
What would you do differently?:

Comments:

Went down the wrong row to find my bike, but didn't take long to finally find it. Shoes, helmet, glasses went on fast.
What would you do differently?:

Find my bike without wandering around like an idiot.

Comments:

Overall, it felt pretty good. Started to tire at the end a little, but it is what it is.
What would you do differently?:

Need to work on overall cycling posture and strength. This will make a big difference I think.
Transition 2
  • 01m 54s
Comments:

I was taking this one a little slow to try to get my legs under me. And they STILL felt like Jello.
What would you do differently?:

I plan to work on this by doing more (any) bricks. I need to start to feel how to push out that weird feeling so that I can run a little faster on the front half and not spend too much time in T2.

Comments:

Big improvement over last year, but still a ways to go on this. I think at least 3 girls in my age group passed me here, which kicked me off the podium (ok, not kicked me off because that's pipe dream, but a faster run would really help me)
What would you do differently?:

I'm happy with my performance, but need to do some speed work and get my running in better shape still.
Post race
Warm down:

Chill out and drink some gatorade. Got a massage and walked around a bit to shake it all off.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Nothing really. I know I can still improve, which is what's important.

Event comments:

Overall, this was again a great race by Set-up. Looking forward to Kinetic in a couple weeks!
