Comments: Took a little extra time in transition to get wetsuit off. Wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be though. What would you do differently?: Nothing ![]() Bike
Comments: Felt great the first 15 miles until the rain hit. Torential rain from miles 15-25 along with very gusty wind. First time riding in rain. Was nervous about wiping out on bike but never felt unsteady. What would you do differently?: Nothing. ![]() Transition 2
Comments: Took a little extra time to dry feet and put on socks and shoes. What would you do differently?: Nothing given wet conditions on the bike. ![]() Run
Comments: Felt pretty good for most of the run. Got pretty tired the last 2 miles and was running in the pouring rain. What would you do differently?: Nothing ![]() Post race
Warm down: Grabbed a slice of pizza and banana and jumped on the trolley to head back to transition to gather up stuff. What limited your ability to perform faster: Rain on the bike course slowed the bike ride a little but probably not enough to make a difference. Event comments: Great swim course. Really liked the out and back private lake swim. Challenging bike course with quite a few rolling hills. Average run course. A little disappointing that there were no gels offered on the run course. Also disappointed that race shirt was a cotton race shirt and there were no finisher medals. Overall a very good course though. Would do this race again! Last updated: 2013-01-01 12:00 AM
