Run
Comments: Had a decent run for the conditions. Was not prepared for the course to be so hilly though. What would you do differently?: Warm up before the run. I woke up with plenty of time, but just fiddle farted around the house for too long and forgot about the 30 min drive time. Transition 1
Comments: I forgot to hit my lap counter so I don't know what my transition time was. Non chip race, I'll just guess about 1:30. 1 gel and big gulp of water. Also my first race so everything was an experiment. What would you do differently?: Get to the event earlier so I wasn't at the very back of the transition area. Bike
Comments: I thought I rode a good race. Never got passed and passed a good number of people. Course marshalls did a damn good job of controlling traffic. I probably drank a little too much on the ride and felt it sloshing around for a few minutes once it hit the second run. What would you do differently?: I really don't know. Maybe push a little harder on the downhills. Transition 2
Run
Comments: Drank a little too much Cytomax on the bike and it was sloshing around pretty good. Had to walk the crest of two hills. What would you do differently?: Train for hills more. Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster: My fitness, plain and simple. Event comments: This was my first race and it was a good learning experience for me. There were a lot of teams racing so it made things a little funny but it did spread out the race well. I had a damn good time, but realize I need to step up my training.
