Comments:

I took my time. No rush.
What would you do differently?:

Practice?? Who knows. I haven't done a transition in so long it was deja vu all over again!

Comments:

Pretty pathetic but expected since I haven't ridden my bike outside once. I hate hills and change gears plus I lost a few minutes when my race number fell off.
What would you do differently?:

Everything.
Transition 2
  • 02m 50s
Comments:

I was pretty dizzy off the bike (eat something beside sugar before the race) and I was in a daze so I am surprised I was off under 3 minutes.
What would you do differently?:

Eat well.

Comments:

Lots of run/walk. Surprised that I was under 10 min/mile. I had some good visuals so maybe that made me not pathetic.
What would you do differently?:

See above 1st run and ride!
Post race
Warm down:

Took my time. Walked around. Get my stuff and I was off. Nothing special.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Geez, it is a little pathetic but I am 48 years old and I am not a good runner or cyclist so I am just happy I didn't die out there!

Event comments:

Decent.
