Comments:

Did not have a suit on so did not have that problem. Fumbled with putting on a DRY underarmor shirt with me being wet was a pain. Shoes went on pretty good. First time so I did not know wheather to run or jog or walk so I kind if did all three

Not wear a shirt on the bike.

Comments:

Put my bike in the wrong way and had to fix it. slammed a GU and off to the run course
What would you do differently?:

make it better. I like the way I did it. Got in parked the bike and hit the run course. I did not have to chage shoes due to me not having clipped shoes.
Run
  • 29m 29s
  • 3.2 miles
  • 09m 13s  min/mile
Comments:

Turning alot in the begining. There was no race markings on distance so that kind of threw me off. There could have been, I just did not see them. It was hot and the combo of dumping water on me and then taking little shots of gatorade worked well. This was a PR for me!
What would you do differently?:

study the race course more for distance. didnt know the local where I should have turned it on.
Post race
Warm down:

stretch and papa johns pizza!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

The not knowing of my speed and distance. It was a mental thing.

Event comments:

This was an AWESOME race to be my first one! The people that put this race on know what they are doing. The volunteers were great with everything. I can not wait to do it again next year!!
