Comments:

Had a great swim, felt strong and navigated so much better than the last race. Was the first time I was able to bilateral breath the whole race. I think it was because I was unusually calm before the race started.
What would you do differently?:

Learn to draft.

Comments:

Bike went better than expected. I've never ridden that fast in a race before on the old 88 supercycle so I was totally impressed with myself. Decided just to give it all I had. Chain fell off on a downhill, waited till I had no more momentum (which was halfway up the next hill!) popped it back on and booted it up the hill. It was a good ride overall.
What would you do differently?:

Buy a new bike!
Transition 2
  • 00m 47s
Comments:

Another good transition, wouldn't change much.

Great run, no complaints.
Post race
Warm down:

Walk around, eat.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I need a new bike, I put it on the hardest gear and at times its not enough, I just have to coast.

Event comments:

Enjoyable race and great location.
