I was way too hot in the wetsuit. I haven't done a tri w.out wetsuit yet, but this would have been the perfect race to try it.

Comments:

I walked the long walk from the water to the bike b/c it was just too hot in that wetsuit. I needed some cool off time.

Comments:

I got a flat tire. The flat took 7 minutes to change. W.out the flat I was 11th age group on the bike and 62nd overall. w. an average of 20.4 mph on the bike. Not too bad.
Transition 2
  • 01m 27s
Comments:

Good t2 except that I forgot my race number and had to go back into my bag, might have cast 10 sec. which would get me to 1:15 ish. I could be happy with that.
Run
  • 50m 54s
  • 6.2 miles
  • 08m 13s  min/mile
Comments:

I felt like I was holding on for the whole run. Suffer on the uphill, recover on the downhill. 8:15" isn't bad for the course, but I'd like a little bit faster.

Event comments:

Good race. w. out a wetsuit, and skipping the flat tire I might have been in pretty good shape.
