Comments: Fastest 500 yet. Was also my first time with 4 people per lane. Felt pressure to go faster with people coming up behind me. Finished with Lesley about 9 seconds behind. What would you do differently?: Better breathing, no breaks. ![]() Transition 1
Comments: Tried to eat a Hammer gel during transition. Bad idea. Also mounted bike before I was supposed to. What would you do differently?: jog bike to mount line. Duh. ![]() Bike
Comments: Used a mountain bike. (all I had.) Felt strong on the bike, but kept getting passed by people on road bikes. Huh..... guess I need a road bike. :) What would you do differently?: use a road bike. ![]() Transition 2
Comments: Waved to the kids and about crossed the dismount line. Slammed on brakes, almost wiped out in front of everyone. Nice. What would you do differently?: pay close attention to speed and dismount line. Be aware of jello legs on dismount. ![]() Run
Comments: Got passed by a bunch of heat 2 folks, but I passed a few from my heat. Not a fast pace, but I felt good. Sprinted to the finish with someone I passed towards the end. Had no idea I had the ability still to sprint until I was chased. Fun. What would you do differently?: Faster pace. ![]() Post race
Warm down: Mostly high fiving the kids and waiting for Lesley to finish. What limited your ability to perform faster: I have too much fat still. Slow process. Event comments: This was Lesley and my first Tri. We did it together to celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary. It was a very enjoyable day. Last updated: 2011-08-24 12:00 AM
