Transition 1
  • 04m 12s
Comments:

I put socks on. This was a mistake... no socks next time. Also had trouble getting unzipped coming out of the water.
What would you do differently?:

No socks. Focus on unzipping and getting the first part of the suit off sooner. Have helmet, sunglasses ready on top.

Comments:

Felt really good. My bike is an OLD 12 speed. I ran the majority of the race in the top gear and guys with similar cadence were passing me. I'm wondering about gearing?
What would you do differently?:

Probably need a better bike. Definitely need to carry the bike.
Transition 2
  • 01m 15s
Comments:

I didn't use clip on shoes, so I didn't have to change shoes. Made my transition time good. 73rd overall.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing really.
Run
  • 1h 14m 55s
  • 6.21 miles
  • 12m 04s  min/mile
Comments:

At the start, I think I had eaten to many of the power gel gummy things. I probably had about 5 during the bike and my stomach wasn't feeling good when I started the run. The first 2.5 miles were a focus on looking for a port-a-pot and there wasn't one. It went away for the second half, but I just didn't have anything left. Walked too much.
What would you do differently?:

Eat less energy stuff and focus on hydration.
Post race
Warm down:

Drank 32 ounces of water + several cups of gatorage. Couple of oranges and banana. Me legs hurt, I just walked around and poured water on my head.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Poor planning and stomach problems on the run.

Event comments:

It was my first event and I really enjoyed the handling of the event.
