Comments:

Water was great. It was wetsuit-legal and some said it was cold, but didn't feel cold at all.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing, was most worried about swim, but turned out to be fine and relaxed. Took it easy, kept near back of pack and stayed out of the fray.

Comments:

Most room for personal improvement. Kept it slow and saved for the hills since I haven't spent much time on the bike. Clearly this is where I can pick up the most time in future races.
Transition 2
  • 02m 35s
Comments:

Need to figure out how to get out of bike shoes quicker.
Run

Comments:

Pretty good run, kept very short steps and just comfortable pace to work up the hills. Ended up being faster than I felt like it was.
Post race
Warm down:

None.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of skill, practice.

Event comments:

My first race, so I don't have a lot to compare it to, but it was a great time, beautiful ride and a good crowd. The town of Luray helps out a lot and the local volunteers are out in full force. A lot of fun.
