Run
  • 18m 49s
  • 3 miles
  • 06m 16s  min/mile
Comments:

split is plausible, but suspect course short by a smidge. had no timing/GPS of my own to say one way or the other. might've taken first mile out too hot, as legs got heavy by the turnaround.
What would you do differently?:

train more
Transition 1

Comments:

went by my main competition pretty early, which was a surprise (fighting a sinus infection...very little training last 2wks). got within a minute of leader and could see him on the longer straightaways but never could close the gap. effort level was a little light (went for extreme aero position, so power suffered).
What would you do differently?:

train more. use my disk.
Transition 2

best split in field
What would you do differently?:

nothing
Run
  • 06m 20s
  • 1 miles
  • 06m 20s  min/mile
Comments:

again, pace is plausible but still think course was a smidge short. friend had it at 0.97mi. went by so fast...I was just starting to feel "normal" again off the bike when it was all over.

Post race
Warm down:

N/A

What limited your ability to perform faster:

sinus infection, training lapses

Event comments:

RACC puts on a great show. chx soup on a cold day is the killer app. definitely a course for the stronger bikers in terms of distancse and difficulty, as I'll be the first to admit I wouldn't finish this high otherwise.
