Little too hard the first 400

Absolutely dead the first 2 miles of bike ride

What would you do differently?:

Need a new saddle. Ass is killing me on the bike
Transition 2
  • 01m 54s
Comments:

Finish came up faster than expected (course was shorter than originally advertised). So hopping off the bike was awkward, and I didn't have my feet out on top of the shoes. Had trouble getting socks on, as was too out of breath.
What would you do differently?:

Need to slow up more into T2

Comments:

Bonked hard. Had to run-walk the last few miles. Course killed me
What would you do differently?:

Didn't bring enough in the tank into the run. Should have slowed down the last couple of miles of the bike.
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

Altitude hurt a bit. Not enough swim warm-up. Still burning matches too early in the race. Think I should delay using the caffeinated GU's, as it may have contributed to the bonk.

Event comments:

The course info said a mostly flat run. Total lie. Besides that, great setup. Riding around traffic near the end of the bike was a pain, but not all that bad.
