My breathing got wacked a few times for some reason. I wasn't as relaxed as I would have liked to have been but still a good performance.

  • 03m 18s
Comments:

My transitions always suck and I'm not sure why. I guess I need to practice more. On a side note the run from the swim exit to bikes was at least 400 yards if nto more.

Good ride but I could have pushed a little harder. I don't like wet roads and it was starting to drizzle on the bike.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing.

Another slow transition.
What would you do differently?:

Clueless right now.

My runs are too darn slow. If I could get my run faster I could be much more competitive.

Run more :)

Event comments:

I am really surprised that I placed 2nd in my age group. This leaves me hungry to improve my performance because it feels darn good to place.
