  • 1207 meters
  • 02m 12s / 100 meters
Comments:

Felt great on the swim other than taking a foot to my face in the first 50m. Racing in the one piece is definitely faster. I was in the pack for most of the swim leg.
Transition 1
  • 00m
Bike
  • 1h 13m 14s
  • 14 miles

Comments:

Felt good the whole time, never went into the pain cave, just stayed steady throughout the course. Ran into lapped traffic at the end of the second lap.
What would you do differently?:

ride a bit faster
Transition 2
  • 00m
Run
  • 50m 29s
  • 5 miles
  • 10m 06s  min/mile
Comments:

Shuffled along didn't have any cramps and other than a bloated feeling for the first few miles felt good. Probably could've gone a little harder, but i was enjoying the run with John and didn't want to go too deep and cramp.
What would you do differently?:

push a little harder on the flat/fast sections.
Post race
Event comments:

Great race. Only suggestion is to figure out a way to open up the trail as lapped traffic can be a problem on the singletrack.
