Comments:

I run through these neighborhoods all the time and this course is difficult. Since I was familiar with the route I underestimated the difficulty.
I have been nursing right hip issues, what I am calling bursitis since the half mary and haven't run much. To throw 9 miles on one day on a difficult course was probably a mistake.
At about mile 4 I was definitely feeling the hip but gutted out the first run.
What would you do differently?:

I am seeing a doctor about the hip and I probably should have worked in more short runs.

Comments:

I figured my only chance was to hammer the bike since my hip was bothering me. I did and it was fun despite the shitty road. I live here and I always climb but never descend this route because it's rough.
Transition 2
  • 00m
Run
  • 35m 1s
  • 3.1 miles
  • 11m 18s  min/mile
Comments:

Time includes T2 I guess. I missed my goal by 7 seconds because of the hip issue. I probably walked 5-6 minutes of this second run. What pisses me off is my fitness was not lacking my leg just hurt.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around and talked to local tri club memebers

What limited your ability to perform faster:

hip

Event comments:

This is course is not to be underestimated. It is hard. I wish my hip would have been a little better, I think I could have shaved 5 or more minutes off the time.
