Decent run off the bike since I have done no tempo work or anything over z2 in training so far this year. Was able to pass Ed on the run.
What would you do differently?:

Train more by racing more.

The volunteer at the turn told me to get off my bie at the mat. I ran from there in my socks. I could have ridden all the way in.

Not listen to the dumb volunteer.

Good race pace effort on the bike. Fastest in the Agegroup so I will take it.
What would you do differently?:

I need to ride more and train at z3-4 to gain higher speed at a lower HR.

Drank beer and hung out with everyone.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Not enough training.

Event comments:

It was great to see all the BTer's out there and the all the podiums by the BTer's. Skarl 1st agegroup, Dime 1st agegroup, Me 2nd agegroup, kenny 3rd agegroup. Nice to meet Freckleface and see Bert, Tyra, Scott, Ray, Mtnskibum, katie, susan and all the other folks doing a fun winter race on a beauty of a spring day.
Got lots of hammer products- whole box of electrolyte packets, big bottle of hammer gel, hammer gel flask, racing underground hat! Great prizes.
