Comments:

I was pretty happy with my performance. I really pushed hard and I think it may have affected the run a little. I think a much more even pace would have helped overall.
What would you do differently?:

Even out the effort
Transition 2

Comments:

another fast transition. first time i left the shoes on the bike but they did drag the ground slightly so I may need to make an adjustment there

nothing
Run

  • 3.11 miles
  • 08m 23s  min/mile
Comments:

Pacing was good, my legs were a little shaky at first during the run but i just tried to keep the cadence up. Time was a little slower than my last race but not too far off. I did not sprint the finish because I was completely spent by that point. Shoes left blisters on my arches.
What would you do differently?:

A little less effort on the bike would help the run. More training volume.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked a little bit, stopped by the pizza tent. Drank some water and a coke.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Not used to aerobars. Did not stay in aero position as much as i should have.

Event comments:

Very well organized and the post race activities were great.
