Comments:

Stayed away from the group until the very end, kept very comfortable.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing, need to become more calm so I can go harder.

Comments:

Didn't get my race pace I wanted but wind had a huge factor today.
What would you do differently?:

After looking at pictures it appears my saddle is too far back. Moving that up.

I shifted very poorly at the turnaround and had to muscle my way back to a okay gear. I need to slow down more there and shift down more.
Transition 2
  • 00m 36s
Comments:

Very smooth transition.
What would you do differently?:

Tie my shoes before I leave my spot!

Comments:

Had a blister that I needed to put a sock on right near the start. Legs felt shot after the bike so it was very hard to get back to my race pace. Didn't get to that until about 2/3 through the run.
What would you do differently?:

Practice more in my race shoes. I need to prevent blisters.
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

Wind. Blisters. Heat

Event comments:

Made some changes from last year. Switched the awards and prizes around so more people could leave early. Very nicely done race besides being behind on start. I believe that was more the athletes not there though.
