Comments:

Started out pretty hard to stay up with the lead 5 guys. Was passed on the second lap by a fast runner, but not a good cyclist. The lead pack pulled away by about 30-45 seconds so I ran alone just keeping an eye on them. Ran pretty well on this run.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing.

Comments:

Good transition, I saw Dime head out and knew I was ok. Dime beat me here by 1 second. That's cool.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing
Bike

  • 24.15 mile/hr
Comments:

Had a decent bike but wanted to put time in on Dime and Scott. I caught them at the turn around and kept pushing. Scott surged at about mile 9 and I could not stay with him. Wanted to now put distance between myself and Dime. Tried a surge but he held on. I knew he would beat me on the secnod run. The wind coming back was very strong and killed the high average I had going out. Super fast going out.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing. Gave it all I had.
Transition 2
  • 00m 31s
Comments:

Got put on the run before Dime but knew it was only a matter of time before he roared by me. He did at eh 1/4 mile mark.
What would you do differently?:

nothing.

Comments:

This run was very slow. I had nothing left and was just trying to hang on for 3rd. I knew I could hold off 4th place guy and I did. Ran as hard as I could but there was no power in the legs.
What would you do differently?:

Train more.
Post race
Warm down:

Ran for about10 minutes with Dave, Dime and Scott. F4 head coach.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Not enoogh running and recovering from a marathon. So it was to be expected.
