Happy with swim.
Transition 1
  • 01m 8s
Comments:

I mounted good and got going, but then my chain fell off about a 1/2 block in.
What would you do differently?:

Not sure. When shifting to the big ring right away, maybe shift slower? (Shouldn't have to.) However, I have started in the big ring in other races and should have just done that.
Bike
  • 34m 21s
  • 14 miles
  • 24.45 mile/hr
Comments:

Gear changes could be GOOD, but put as average due to the chain falling off at beginning of bike section. Otherwise, there weren't many changes. Left it in the big ring after the first block of riding (after I stopped and put the chain back on).


What would you do differently?:

Start bike in big ring.
Transition 2
  • 00m 52s
Comments:

I thought I did good, but there were faster guys in and out of T2.
What would you do differently?:

Not sure there is anything. I came into T2 huffing and puffing trying to keep a nice gap on the chasers. I was first out on the run course, but was caught by two.
Run

  • 4.4 miles
  • 06m 20s  min/mile
Comments:

I was still tired from the HIM last week, but the run was still ok for me.
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

Prior race the week before was a half iron.

Event comments:

Final Stretch is a good race company.
