Run
  • 21m 17s
  • 3.11 miles
  • 06m 50s  min/mile
Comments:

I felt great on the run. I kept the pace a litle slower so I didn't wear myself out for the ride. I was happy with the run the time I posted.
What would you do differently?:

Wore long sleeve undershirt underneath jersey. It was just a little too hot and would have been fine without the undershirt.
Transition 1
  • 00m 55s
Comments:

I need a better routine to get from running shoes on to the bike. For example, I decided to put gloves on while I rode, but I wasn't very efficient in doing so and would have been better off taking the extra time in the transition area.

Comments:

I'm still slow on the downhills, but I'm getting a lot better. I actually dropped a couple of people in the race and felt great about that. I think the bike could become a little better if I were to drop the stem so it is a little lower, but we'll see.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing. Just more practice to add some miles so I can become more efficient.
Transition 2
  • 01m 29s
Comments:

Transition went well, but I had trouble with double knots in my shoes.
What would you do differently?:

Figure out a more efficient way to loosen and tighten running shoes...
Run

  • 3.11 miles
  • 06m 13s  min/mile
Comments:

I was happy with the run. Calves were a little tight, but I had plenty of excesse energy to kick it in hard down the stretch.
What would you do differently?:

GO even faster:)
Post race
Warm down:

No warm-down. I was beat and ready for a nap.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Nothing

Event comments:

I enjoyed the race overall. The results could be more in-depth, so I'm a little dissapointed in that. And I would like to know why I was penalized for 2 minutes. I remember seeing somebody write something down as they passed, but I wasn't sure what it was. Apparently it was a penalty for maybe not allowing somebody to pass??? Not sure! But I know I'm kind of ticked... What can you do?
