Comments:

Felt really good - Pushed it more than normally in a race and had no negative consequences.
Transition 1
  • 01m 19s
Comments:

The beginning of the bike was a little sketchy, rough road and puddles. Took longer than normal to get in my shoes.
What would you do differently?:

Put my shoes on out of the swim instead of leaving them on the bike.

Comments:

Bike felt great. Hills were taxing but was able to recover once over and get some good speed on the downs. Need to look into different cassettes, I kept running out of gears on the downhills.
What would you do differently?:

None
Transition 2
  • 00m 53s
Comments:

Forgot to take my helmet off and made it almost out of transition before realizing it. Had to run back to my bike and drop my helmet before starting the run. That extra time probably cost me second overall (lost it by 13 secs).
What would you do differently?:

Remember my helmet!!!

Comments:

Felt really good on the run. Able to keep 7:00mpm pace for the majority of the run. Picked up two overall places, passing Beth and Erin. Was only 13 secs behind 2nd place overall. Very happy with my run.
Post race
Warm down:

Drank water, talked to other racers, cooled off in the pool.
