Comments:

I felt good and could have pushed it a little harder! This is a PR for me for a 5K! (I know it doesn't really count since this wasn't a stand alone 5K, but who cares...I'm taking it).
What would you do differently?:

Push just a little harder to finish in under 30:00.

  • 01m 13s
Comments:

I was pretty darn excited about my 5K time. My transition times are horribly slow. Didn't hustle at all.

I have no complaints about my bike performance. I could have pushed just a little harder, but wanted to have something left for the 2nd run.
What would you do differently?:

Push just a little harder, otherwise I'm happy with my ride.

Blah
What would you do differently?:

Hustle
Run

Comments:

This was tough. It took me the first mile before my legs felt half-way normal. Walked at the water stations. Felt like I was just shuffling my feet. I felt slow.
What would you do differently?:

Force myself to run the entire way...no breaks even at the aid stations.
Post race
Warm down:

Stretched.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Run training.

Event comments:

This was my first 3D race since Big Fish a few years ago. Everything went off just perfect. They did a very nice job.
