Comments:

This lake was for the birds. Too small, lots of weeds, and it smelled like sulfur. At least they had outdoor showers running, so i ran under one after.
What would you do differently?:

Maybe do the duathlon.
Transition 1
  • 00m 33s
Comments:

Tried leaving my shoes clipped in for the first time, without practicing. All the time i saved and then some was just moved to the bike as i was on the side of the road getting shoes on and chain back on. Grrr.
What would you do differently?:

Practice transitioning. If i was to start placing, this matters so much more than i pretended last year.

Comments:

Bike was mostly uneventful after the shoe mess. I passed a lot of people counting the duathletes out on the course. Almost yelled at a clump of ~6-7 riders on a flat (not even a climb). The roads were open an i did not want to go into oncoming traffic. Eventually just hugged the double yellow and charged on ups saying "left" and got past. If i was more familiar with the course i could have piccked up some time ath the end, but it was tiny fast rollers around curves and i slowed it down.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing really, pretty happy.
Transition 2
  • 00m 45s
Run
  • 17m 1s
  • 2.5 miles
  • 06m 49s  min/mile

Warm down:

Biked home pretty soon after. Eileen was making fathers day breakfast.

Event comments:

Nows when improving gets harder. I was only one away from a podium, but 2 minutes is an eternity to make up in a sprint. Keep on trucking...
