Comments:

Made it up Old Stage Hill without stopping! Felt great on the hills and fast on the downhill.
What would you do differently?:

Only drank 2/3 of my Accelerade bottle and ate half a Cliff Bar. Needed to drink whole bottle and at least one gel.
Transition 2
  • 03m 43s
Comments:

Had to pee. Waited until T2 because I thought I would lose less time than peeing during the race.
What would you do differently?:

Not pee??

Comments:

The run kicked my behind!! After mile 2, I ended up walking alot. My legs were shot. It was a total bonk. I was hoping for 1 hour and went :24 past that! It was pretty miserable. Legs gone and my stomach was funky so I could'nt consume anything but water for fear of losing it.
What would you do differently?:

Consume more caleries on the bike and at very beginning of run before stomach goes south. Need to prepare better!!
Post race
Warm down:

None

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of caloric consumption, failure to prepare better for the run.

Event comments:

Great race and 5430 is a great organization! I'll be back next year!
