  • / 100 meters
Transition 1
  • 00m 50s
Comments:

In from the run. Yankz or some kind of shoe lace system maybe may have taken a few seconds off. I wore my riding gloves so I didn't have to put them on for the bike. Otherwise I would have probably not worn them at all.
What would you do differently?:

I need something to ID my transition point. It took me a couple of seconds to recognize something that said, "You're parked here!"

Felt great on the bike! I knew I was pushing. Course is super flat. Below sea level.

Comments:

Felt pretty good about this transistion. Everything worked as planned.
What would you do differently?:

Practice transitions.

Comments:

Felt good on the run. Overtraining probably slowed my run as well as pushing a little too hard on the bike.
What would you do differently?:

Not push so hard on the bike.
Post race
Warm down:

Sit in grass and stare up at the sky.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Overtraining. I was a little sore from other runs and bikes. The pool was closed so I didn't swim at all the week before so I thought more running/cycling would be a good thing.

Event comments:

Not enough volunteers. $70 for a race and we get bananas and grapes. Real nice Lightning Bolt style long sleeve shirt.

Performance:
There was debate about whether the water would be suitable to swim in. It turns out it wasn't according to the race director. He said there were 4-6 feet waves. Funny I saw 1-2 foot waves. It turned into a 1-mile sprint. I wasn't prepared as many other people were. I didn't like it. I felt tight.
