Comments:

Slower than I was hoping. My plan was 27 minutes. Not sure why I was slow, it didn't feel that slow when I was running.
Transition 1
  • 01m 30s
Comments:

took off jacket as I got warm during the run. figured i'd be too hot if I wore it during the bike. mistake: leaving my gu in the jacket pocket meant no nutrition on the bike.
What would you do differently?:

hang on to my gu!

Comments:

happy with my bike time, i was on plan here. not happy with the trashing of my legs that made the 2nd run hard for me.
What would you do differently?:

need more bike fitness so that my legs aren't as tired coming off the bike.
Transition 2
  • 01m 30s
Comments:

remembered to grab gu from jecket pocket, but had to wait until 1st water stop to eat it.
Run
  • 29m 30s
  • 3.11 miles
  • 09m 29s  min/mile
Comments:

very low energy until i could eat the gu i missed during the bike. this slowed my first mile. picked up speed during the second mile. picked up more speed in the last mile as i realized my goal of under 2 hours was in jeopardy. not enough though, i ended up just over my goal time.
What would you do differently?:

it's very early in the season, i just need more practice running off the bike to get the feel back again.

Event comments:

great race, very organized as usual for GMS. Nice food spread afterwards. pizzas always good, even at 10:30 in the morning! happy with 9th in my age group considering the talent that was there was pretty impressive.
