Comments: Last year's time was 10:19 0:48 improvement What would you do differently?: Nothing Transition 1
Comments: Top rank in T1 by 10 seconds What would you do differently?: Nothing Bike
Comments: Again another nasty headwind. Last year's time was 36:35. 2:08 improvement What would you do differently?: I need more time on the bike. I think that my bike negatively affected my run. I should have pedaled down the first hill instead of coasting. Would pedaling down at 32mph instead of coasting at 30 have made the difference between a 6th place finish and a 4th place finish? Transition 2
Comments: Fumbled with the sunglasses and right shoe. What would you do differently?: ???? Run
Comments: I petered out in the end and got passed twice in the last 200 yd. This meant the difference between 4th and 6th place overall; a 9 second difference. Last year's time was 19:11 a whopping 1 second improvement. What would you do differently?: I need to train more on the bike. I really think that the impediment to my run in this race was my bike fitness. I need to run tired more. I need to build my speed work to total 3 miles and then begin to decrease times on my intervals. Post race
Warm down: Walk around. Visit. Shower. Great to see GJ50. Wish I had more time to visit. What limited your ability to perform faster: I think the bike segment needs work. Event comments: Excellent race. It was nice that the weather warmed quickly. I was very happy with my improvements from last year. I was around 3:30 faster overall. Last updated: 2006-04-21 12:00 AM
