Comments:

A bit disappointed that my speed wasn't faster but probably due to the wind and rough roads. Happy with my power - strongest that it's been. I was trying not to push it too hard.
What would you do differently?:

Practice turns and cornering. Ride more.

  • 01m 41s
Comments:

Still having hat issues - I waste time putting it on because it's on top of my shoes.
What would you do differently?:

Put hat on while running

Nice run, passed a lot of people, it was fun. Never felt like I was going too hard
Post race
Warm down:

Some stretching. Ate some really good barbecue sandwiches.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

General lack of training. Also may have been tired - not good sleep the night before

Event comments:

Great race - so well organized! Nice to be on a military base and have the support of the Marine Corps. Beautiful course.
