Good bike. That final hill into T2 is extremely steep near the top ... no issues though.
Transition 2
  • 01m 19s
Comments:

Nearly knocked another bike off the rack while racking mine, but caught it before it fell and had to re-rack it. Cost me a few seconds.
What would you do differently?:

Be more careful racking bike.
Run
  • 23m 30s
  • 3.11 miles
  • 07m 34s  min/mile
Comments:

Probably didn't push hard enough on the flat portion, worried about the final hill. Should've gone harder as I didn't have any issues with the hill. Passed a lot of people on the run, got passed once near the top of the hill by the 2nd place overall finisher.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around, rode bike down to the car.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Nothing.

Event comments:

Good small local race. Took forever to get to the awards ceremony though. Waiting around for the awards wore me out worse than the actual race.
