For me, this was a decent ride. I struggled with the first hill, had trouble controlling my breathing.
What would you do differently?:

Possibly back off a little in the swim
Transition 2
  • 00m 40s
Comments:

I tried going without socks. I ended up folding over the insert in my shoe and like an idiot just took off.
What would you do differently?:

Practice with no socks. Take the time to adjust my insert
Run
  • 23m 2s
  • 3.11 miles
  • 07m 25s  min/mile
Comments:

I tried to run with my insert folded over inside my shoe. This drove me crazy and I had to stop and adjust. I think this cost me about 30-45 seconds. In a sprint, that matters.
What would you do differently?:

Remove my insert.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around

What limited your ability to perform faster:

My shoe insert fiasco.

Event comments:

I love Bath County. Overall, this was my best sprint. Very happy with swim and bike. I left some time on the course in the run, due to some poor decisions on my part.
