Pre-race routine:

getting there.....on time, the goal.

ibid, above.

  • 440 yards
  • 01m 51s / 100 yards
Comments:

sighting/direction was on & off. current & me.....
What would you do differently?:

go harder at the end, tho' sighting into the sunrise was difficult/blinding to see the finish.
Transition 1
  • 03m 54s
Comments:

can improve, most def T1
What would you do differently?:

set up for quicker exit; run with bike alittle faster; go past mounting line if others are crowding me (they were...) single tie or go with cheap rubber bands on cleat heals for snap-release, get feet secured quicker/sooner in line.
Bike
  • 28m 9s
  • 10 miles
  • 21.31 mile/hr
Comments:

many good cyclists out there, some on roadies too.
What would you do differently?:

going to have to stand up more often and push alittle harder, methinks, to shave time and have a shot at 1st place in AG. Can I pull a 22mph pls Lord? (w/out hurting the run, that is?)
Transition 2
  • 01m 48s
Comments:

need to shave more time here too
Winner got some T1-2 freebie help from me today, big time!
What would you do differently?:

Get in & the #(%#)$* out!
Run
  • 26m 23s
  • 3.1 miles
  • 08m 31s  min/mile
Comments:

1st here was duly appreciated, but Lord knows I can run a 25min here (or better yet, miraculous 24+min something?) As with bikers, there were many good (young especially...) runners here today. (runners clubs?)
What would you do differently?:

push alittle harder for 25' or better. Being looser w/out butt-hamy cramps would def help the cause.
Post race
Warm down:

pant, pant, pa...........

What limited your ability to perform faster:

muscle tightness which leads to questionable "conservatism"....methinks.

Event comments:

have two more to go in this series, b4 I can adequately comment here on Multi-Race Series.
