Comments:

For first race of the season I did not push as hard as I think I could have. Was afraid of red lining.
What would you do differently?:

Push a bit harder. My cadence was a little higher than it should have been. Would like to have been a harder gear and a slower cadence.
Transition 2
  • 00m 28s
Comments:

Had trouble riding with feet on shoes. Again, new shoes and not enough practice. Also had trouble putting on running shoes because my feet where numb from the cold.
Run

  • 3.11 miles
  • 06m 30s  min/mile
What would you do differently?:

Need to practice some trail running for races like this. I did not mind it but could have gone harder if prepared for it.

Need to do more sprint work. Had trouble with breath control when I pushed it.
Post race
Warm down:

Small stretch and junk food. :(

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Need to condition stronger.
Need to work with new aero bars and new shoes.

Event comments:

For a first time the race was very well run. I hope there is a second annual and that I can make it. I think this race will get bigger because I think everyone there had a good time.
