Hard to see where I was going.

Water bottle flew out of cage in first 2 miles. Had to stop for water on the course. Ended up losing division by 30 sec. b/c of it.
What would you do differently?:

Get new water bottle cage. Bring extra water bottles on bike.
Transition 2

Comments:

Accidentally left helmet on. Had to go back to racking area and put it back. Otherwise, great job. Lock laces made a big difference.
What would you do differently?:

Slow my mind down so that I don't overlook something as obvious as taking my helmet off.

Hard run! Not in shape for the 5K after the 18+ mi bike. Was uphill for first half. Very tough.

Train more.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Need more training. Water bottle cage was a problem.

Event comments:
