Transition 1
  • 00m 55s
Comments:

Had trouble mounting bike. mount line was on an uphill. before the race I debated on having shoes already clipped in. I clipped them in, but maybe shouldn't have. I tried mounting once, had to get off and mount again. This cost me some time, and maybe 1st overall, as I missed 1st by 18 seconds.
What would you do differently?:

Run with shoes on MAYBE.

Downhill dismount. Didn't have time to come out of my shoes, so I unclipped. Big mistake. Should have planned this better. Cost me some time.

Come out of shoes earlier.

Event comments:

Missed 1st OA by 18 seconds largely due to transitions. My 3 sport performances were about as good as I can do.
