I felt good on the run. I was in the mood to run all day. I felt as though I could have.
What would you do differently?:

Push the pace just a tiny bit more.
Transition 1
  • 04m 22s
Comments:

Sucked it up and was embarrassed cause I couldn't clip in. No excuses, but I was riding an OLD bike that has the small clips not like my LOOK clips, but it was still embarassing until I did it and took off.
What would you do differently?:

Put my cycling shoes on BEFORE I ran off with my bike.

Again, had problems with the OLD bike. I remember spilling GU on the shifters in a race last ear. The shifters were stuck. I could only change the bi ring, fun!
What would you do differently?:

Prep my bike better.

Comments:

I do none of the above.
What would you do differently?:

Go faster!

Comments:

Didn't have it in my tank to do sub 15 min miles. I was not happy. Missed my goal of 1:45:00 for the rcae, but some of that were the really bad transition times as well as the wind, but no excuses.
What would you do differently?:

Faster transitions and push harder on both runs.
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

Uh, weight and a little wind.

Event comments:

Good red beans and rice. My friend Matt, made the comment that they actually had some when I finished. Usually all the food and people are almost or totally gone when I finish. But the problem was I was in no mood to eat at that moment. Isn't it ironic, don't you think?

Course: course was flat and fast. Nothing to it really, couple of little turns, but that doesn't effect me.
