Comments:

The big problem was large just of wind (20-30 mph. The last mile was completly into a head wind that made it hard to stand up let alone run sometimes.
What would you do differently?:

No wind!
Transition 1
  • 01m 25s
Comments:

My helmet flew off my handlebars so it took me a little longer in t1 than it shuld have. Once I got going, it was tough to get started going into a very strong headwind.
What would you do differently?:

Next time its this windy I'm going to bolt the helmet down.

I just need to get stronger so the wind is no longer a factor.

Post race
Warm down:

Put my warm clothes on and walked sround until the awards ceremony.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

The wind. Also my weight. I'd be much faster if I can drop back to me pre-surgery weight.

Event comments:

I'll be back for the Spring Wrentham Du to see if I can knock some serious time off.
