Comments:

Wow it was crowded. I did pretty well, but I don't think I'd like a bigger race than this. No kicks, luckily, but tons of running into others and mostly from behind, which made me slower
What would you do differently?:

Try to stay outside the school until rounding first.
Transition 1
  • 02m 37s
Comments:

I did okay. I'm still of the opinion that trying to get faster here is not a big priority. Smoothness before speed.
I did run the distance from water to rack, which I'm proud of.
What would you do differently?:

running with bike is a little hard.

Comments:

I did pretty well, here. I pushed, but I held enough back. I wish I had practiced more, especially hills.
I liked my new aero bars, though.
What would you do differently?:

Top off my tires before race.
Transition 2
  • 00m 39s
Comments:

I still ride in my running shoes. I think that this is fine, and it saves me a lot of time in T2.
What would you do differently?:

Race number on belt so I can lose my top.

Comments:

Good, but not great. I had a good pace, but I could have found more.
What would you do differently?:

Dig deep.
