Comments:

first time racing with power. tried to keep it 190-95 with moderate success. passed a lot of people due to tt start.
What would you do differently?:

push a little harder. i was conserving my legs for the run too much.

Comments:

lost a shoe on the dismount which created chaos due to crowd of people all coming in at the same time. ooops. screwed that one up.
What would you do differently?:

Comments:

3rd fastest run in my age group. felt awesome throughout. maybe could have gone a little faster but my left hamstring was acting up a little. I was able to crank the last 2 miles in right around 13 minutes and negative split the run which was cool. very happy with this run. fastest i have run 13.1 miles in a long time (like, 20 years).
What would you do differently?:

nothing

stretching. slow swim.

need more work on the bike.

Event comments:
