Run
Comments: Pace felt good. Heart rate was fairly high, but I ignored that and continued running by feel. Enjoyed the light rain! Kept things cool What would you do differently?: Nothing. Was overall happy with first leg Transition 1
Comments: Horrible! First event, thus wasn't prepared as I should have been. had a tough time getting shoes on. What would you do differently?: Everything. Next time will use other biking shoes which are much easier to put on (velco only). Take transition more serious. Practice unracking and reracking bike before race Bike
Comments: I really enjoyed the ride. Heart rate was great. Pace seemed perfect. Even passed some of those guys on the expensive tri-bikes. Had one time on the chipseal section that I thought I had a flat tire. My bike was acting very loose and I was having a tough time controlling it. Had to slow a bit. Then realized it was just the rough roads in wet conditions. Got the bike under control and picked the pace back up. Had a gel taped to my bike to use during the ride. Unfortunatley when I wanted to use it I noticed that it had fallen off. I guess tape doesn't stick as well in the rain. What would you do differently?: Nothing. Maybe would have pushed the pace just a bit more the last 5 miles Transition 2
Comments: Again this was the worst part of my race. Had a hard time getting my shoes off. What would you do differently?: PRACTICE Run
Comments: I was starting to feel tired. Guess I let that get to my head. What would you do differently?: Toughen up mentally! Post race
Warm down: Ate post race food and just enjoyed the atmosphere What limited your ability to perform faster: TRANSITIONS Event comments: Overall, this was a great race. I have done too many running races to count over the years and just started biking seriously. Race was as organized as any I have participated in. Volunteers were great. look forward to next race and using what I have learned from this one. Last updated: 2010-12-02 12:00 AM
