Felt good. Easy
Transition 1
  • 03m 23s
Comments:

VERY SLOW! I had to add 700 layers to make sure the gusting wind didn't make me cold! It's hard to pull tights on a wet body!
What would you do differently?:

I would say not wear tights, but I appreciated having them

Holy Wind Batman! The crosswinds on the way back were hard. I had to lean right so I didn't blow over. Going into the wind I was surprised I wasn't at a negative speed! With the wind at my back I really pushed it. But - considering the wind, I think I actually did well on this.
What would you do differently?:

Control the wind????

  • 01m 12s
Comments:

not bad. I did pull my coat off as I thought I would be too hot.
What would you do differently?:

I don't think I would have done anything different

Comments:

I felt well on this run. I could have pushed it a little bit more. There was a dude just in front of me, but I didn't push hard enough to pass him.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing really - sore ankle and tweaked knee - my q race for the year -- I think it was good
Post race
Warm down:

waiting for Wade to get in -- froze my patootie off! iced my knee at home and used my stick to loosen my left leg

What limited your ability to perform faster:

the wind, lack of bike fitness, taking it a little too easy on the run - oh - perhaps my slowest possible transition???

Event comments:

A really well-run race. Organized. I enjoy it. Especially since I went to college at UWW. I always enjoy going back.
