Probably nothing

  • 04m 1s
Bike
  • 3h 23m 6s
  • 56 miles
  • 16.54 mile/hr
What would you do differently?:

I need to work on my bike speed...I would like to be at an 17.5-18 pace which for this course may be unreasonable for me, but Mooney did it at 18.3, so 18 it is not unobtainable with training and maybe some weights too.
Transition 2
  • 03m 56s
Run

  • 13.1 miles
  • 10m 05s  min/mile
Comments:

Felt pretty good and was trying to hit a 10 min pace and I ended at 10:05. I would like to get down to a 9 min pace on the run
What would you do differently?:

Run faster...need to do more speed work and train for another marathon.
Post race
Event comments:

I would highly recommend this race. I plan to do it again next year.
