Comments:

this is what killed my race, I found out that hills and I dont mix lol or at least not yet anyway. It was a tough course I thought the hills around here would be enough but not even close. So with the hills and wind and being undertrained on the bike this ruined my race =/ but it was my own fault. So I know what I need to start working on more so time to get to it
What would you do differently?:

train for the bike a lot lot lot more
Transition 2

Comments:

pretty quick in and out didnt have locking laces so I had to tie them so that might have cost about 10-15 seconds
What would you do differently?:

nadda

  • 4.3 miles
  • 06m 55s  min/mile
Comments:

um yeah the hill at the start was huge I got about 3/4 of the way up and walked for about 3 seconds then continued on my way. It was tough on the way out but pretty easy on the way back so that was nice
What would you do differently?:

more speed work with running
Post race
Warm down:

ate an apple drank some water and walked around and stretched

What limited your ability to perform faster:

non consistant workouts my own fault

Event comments:

My first year doing this race and I will be doing it again and prepare enough so I can place well next year.
