Comments:

2 People swam over me, felt like one big panic attack for the first 1/2 of the first lap. I couldn't catch my breath to save my life. It evened out for the 2nd lap and I felt STRONG. That was great!
Transition 1
  • 01m 13s
Comments:

Shoes on and shuffled over the mat - bike placed close to mat so minimul shuffling time. No problems at all!

Comments:

Chain came off EIGHT times. Had to dismount 4 - that WAS TERRIBLE. I passed people only to have them whiz around me. It was disheartening to say the least. I think the rear derailer was not having a good day. It was hard to get into a rhythm, but I felt good over all. I got going 37.3 as my max speed!!

  • 01m 8s
Comments:

Unclipped and shuffled, shoes on quick. Number on quick. Felt good.

  • 5 miles
  • 10m 08s  min/mile
Comments:

Felt great the first 4 miles, but the last one was killer. I walked through the water stations and only on the last mile a bit. I almost stepped on a snake too...
Post race
Warm down:

Sat down with gatorade and waited for others!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

BIKE CHAIN, just not much of a runner.

Event comments:

Great race, but it is hard when you get back late on the long course. People are taking things down, awards are being given out, no food or drinks left. That is my only negative about the race. It was FUN for my first LONG!
