Comments:

I think that I may have went out too fast at the start. Otherwise, I felt pretty good.
What would you do differently?:

Not start out as fast.
Transition 1
  • 00m
Comments:

I didn't track my T1 time on my GPS and the final results didn't have a T1 time posted. I think that they may have added it to the run. My guess is that it took around 40-50 seconds.
What would you do differently?:

Track the transition time.

Comments:

Unfortunately, I took a wrong turn along with a lot of other people. There was an area with an intersection and not any volunteers in that spot. At the time I didn't realize I was going in the wrong direction, I just made sure that I could see the cyclists ahead of me. Otherwise I felt that I was cycling well.
What would you do differently?:

Be more aware of the roads on the course.

Post race
Warm down:

Walked around and stretched.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

This was my first duathlon of the season. I probably need to put more time in on the bike.

Event comments:

There was a pasta lunch after the race. The volunteers were helpful, but they need to have more of them out on the course.
