Comments:

Had to take it somewhat slow due to the rain. Plus there were a lot of clueless bikers out there. Many new to triathlon athletes. Some could not even make it up what I would call rollers.
Transition 2
  • 04m 27s
Comments:

Took way too long but i was OK with it.
What would you do differently?:

Prep my bag differently when there is a chance of rain and I'm keeping items dry. I couldn't find my dry socks or the numbing agent for my blisters. That added 2 minutes of screwing around.

Comments:

This was my first relatively hard effort since my injury so I was very pleased. Ran with a hamstring cramp for about half a mile.
What would you do differently?:

Take in more electrolytes on the bike. I was struggling to catch up on hydration and electrolytes.
Post race
Warm down:

Felt great. Cool down and then ate.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Mental limits. Concern about proper healing after injury.

Event comments:

Logistics of bike drop and pick up are a royal PITA. Other than that this is a fun race.
