Comments: I'll need to start at the back of the pack or on the outside edge next time. Too much bunching up and getting hit to keep a straight line What would you do differently?: Start back a bit to allow the bulk of the guys to get out of the way. Transition 1
Comments: Fumbled with my race number and getting my helmet on this time Bike
Comments: I'd like to see my fitness increase to keep my HR down in the low 150's. The hills on this course are not until the last quarter of the bike leg and you need your stamina at the ready to make it through well enough. Definitely benefit from time in the saddle for this course. Transition 2
Comments: A bit better in T2 this time around. I can still do better with my socks and shoes Run
Comments: Turned it on well enough for Mile3 but I had a hiccup during Mile2 that I should be fixing. I need to make sure and pace for a 7:00min/mile pace on Mile3 instead of 7:30min/mile. What would you do differently?: Pacing changes will help out but it was pretty hot and humid. I should be able to "Race" my previous times now that I've got some course specific entries in my Spark Post race
Warm down: Plenty of water poured on to help cool down along with some watermelon. I cooled off and stabilized my HR pretty quickly this time around. What limited your ability to perform faster: Just now getting my training effect into play so I'm ok watching my performance gains play out. Event comments: This race and Series is highly participated and the fact that they have the surrounding community and bike course available makes this a great Sprint to do. Regardless of what people like to hear themselves complain about (i.e. Timing results availability, early bike removal from Transition, etc.) Last updated: 2016-02-11 12:00 AM
