Got a poor start as I did not have anything to push off from. My turns under the lane ropes was poor. Did not have a good transition from lane to lane
Transition 1
  • 00m 51s
Comments:

6th best overall T1. Had to carry bike on sholder up hill from transition area.

Work on jumping on bike and getting up to speed quicker

Went to long with feet out of shoes. Overall pleased with Cadence, but would have liked it up a bit higher 105rpm/110rpm?
What would you do differently?:

Work on getting up to speed and feet into shoes quicker
Transition 2
  • 00m 48s
Comments:

Glasses broke while taking off helmet
What would you do differently?:

Not much - Just work on getting shoes on quicker (maybe put so glide on the inside for quicker slip on)

  • 5 kms
  • 04m 26s  min/km
Comments:

Kept pace at 7:08 for first mile off the bike. Droped off pace during second mile due to some difficult rolling hills. Some cramping during mile two was occuring
What would you do differently?:

Push pace harder by increasing run cadence
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around a bit and refueled with Endrouro RX recovery drink/Bananna/Water/Cliff Bar

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Gettign up to speed faster on the bike out of T1 w/ feet in shoes. Harder run pace. Need to be less than 7min mile pace for 5K

Pleased with my overall results and my efforts in all disciplins. Really improved on my swim.
