Comments:

road was generally smooth but a number of areas were rough, esp on the return leg. lots of inexperienced bikers in this tri.

felt good over Diamond Head, starting to open up as I got onto the highway out to Hawaii Kai. Headwinds were annoying but not too bad. Heartbreak hill wasn't a problem, and had a pretty good return leg. Although some headwinds (unexpected) on the return. Rough roads too.

Comments:

felt strong on the run, always hoping for a sub 45, but maybe next year.

the difference from last year is I had more power to do something on the run whereas last year I was struggling to get it done. I'd attribute that to more training this year.
Post race
Warm down:

walked around, drank amino vital (love AV) ate a few apples. then went over to the sunday market and got a plate lunch.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

oh not sure except for more relentless training ?

Event comments:
