Comments:

good bike. need to work on force (train more on hills).

also need to not be such a pussy going down hill on aerobars.

passed alot of men and women older than me. had no idea where i stood in ag becuse i didn't know who was behind me in the swim.

the course was hillier than i expected and there was some good head wind. i also lost my chain so had to put that back on and stopped for a minute when someone was down after crashing. two others were with her trying to relay back for help, so i said i would go on and get help that way. it took probably a few minutes for me to reach the next volunteer so i stopped breifly to tell them.
What would you do differently?:

maybe push a little harder but i say that now after the race.
Transition 2
  • 01m 48s
Comments:

socks were wet so i decided to scratch them. felt like i had too much to put on with garmin, race belt and hat.
What would you do differently?:

have belt laid out differently

stick socks somewhere where they won't get wet!

Comments:

What would you do differently?:

push a little harder in the end--i was feeling really good that last 2 miles
Post race
Warm down:

a bit of stretching

What limited your ability to perform faster:

training in colorado i think while was good on aerobic function beat my legs up. didn't rest saturday like i normally do...had soccer game, and wedding that night--didn't go to bed untill about 11 and got up at 4:30.

This was kind of a "fun race" and all my training and bricks are based on the recplex next month which is shorter.

I think i probably could have pushed the bike a bit more and maybe the run.

Event comments:

did things differently this time. ate a real breakfast, had coffee and tried some different flavor GU's. Very happy with how i did. i was a tough course. it made me realize that i need to train more on hills on both running and biking and work on transistion times.

got to meet a couple other tri club members, so that's always good.
