Fairly hilly course. Wish I had dome a bit more hill training.
Transition 2
  • 00m 55s
Comments:

Ach! I forgot to pull out of my shoes before getting to the dismount area, so I had to stop and unclip and then waddle in my bike shoes to transition, where I then had to take off my bike shoes before getting on my running shoes.
What would you do differently?:

Remember to get my feet out of my shoes before coming into the dismount area.

One long hill for the first mile of the run. Hard! Then some more hills just to make it more difficult.

Walked around a bit.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Hills.

Event comments:

Good race, I just need to be better prepared for the hills, both on the bike and the run.
