Felt pretty good, other swimmers in lane gave good seed times too since we never had issues with passing, or running into each other.
Transition 1
  • 02m 33s
Comments:

40 degrees so needed to gear up. Not sure what to do since this was my first race and first Transition. So shirt, vest, gloves, hand warmers. Overdid is a little
What would you do differently?:

Ditch the bike gloves, use handwarmers rubber banded to aerobars for future races that are cold

Could have pushed a little harder.
Transition 2
  • 00m 52s
Comments:

Long transition area so had to run a good distance from the dismount line. Legs felt like bricks. Quick T-2 for me, I thought. Overall happy for first try.
Run
  • 22m 5s
  • 3.1 miles
  • 07m 07s  min/mile
Comments:

Could be a better/faster runner but unlike the bike, when you didn't see anyone, 3 laps had you always passing or being passed, which helped with the pacing.
What would you do differently?:

Interval training with hill repeats.

Event comments:

Excellent race, well organized. Which makes sense that the 320 slots fill up within 24 hours of the opening day.

Performance:
Wind: Little
Course: Couple of rollers but fairly flat course, just still cold. Fastest biker was 22.5 mph so mine at just under 20 I felt was a good speed. Plus since there was only 32 people per wave, the bike was really spread out, by about 3 miles, didn't really catch or get passed. Felt like out for a training ride, very little vehicle traffic.
