Comments:

I found this bike to be difficult. Right out of transition I couldnt get my HR down because of the initial climb. I drank 2 bottles of gatorade which haunted me with cramps. However I just had my bike professionally fitted, and this made a huge difference in comfort and average speed. I highly recommend this to anyone who will be biking long distance.
What would you do differently?:

Train more, drink less.
Transition 2
  • 00m 53s
Comments:

Quick T2, am pleased.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing. Possibly jump off bike but the weather was bad and I wasnt feeling up to it.

  • 50m 48s
  • 6.21 miles
  • 08m 11s  min/mile
Comments:

I felt like hell for most of the run. Probably from drinking too much on the bike and the exertion. Had a hard time on the uphill near the turnaround point.
What would you do differently?:

Train more.
Post race
Warm down:

Layed on grass. Stretched.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Exhaustion

Event comments:

Despite wanting to die 1 mile into the run, I had a good race. The event itself is very well organized and a lot of fun. The sun had come out for the awards which made it nice to sit and relax afterwards.
