Comments:

Woke up with rotator cuff tendonitis flare, so my performace was good all things considered.

Bike
  • 43m 11s
  • 12.43 miles
  • 17.27 mile/hr
Comments:

Felt pretty comfortable on bike, more prepared due to increased winter training, better gear changing, and able to attack on hills.
What would you do differently?:

Aero bars would have helped considering strong wind conditions, work on comfort level with intake of calories/fluids while on bike
Transition 2
  • 02m 7s
Comments:

Didn't practice getting out of shoes prior to race, and didn't want to take a chance. I know I could easily trim 30 seconds or more here.
Run
  • 26m 9s
  • 3.11 miles
  • 08m 25s  min/mile
Comments:

Had some cramping at the beginning of the run, so I wasn't able to push as I would have liked. Walked for a brief period going uphill to get my HR back down, able to run the remainder of the course.


What would you do differently?:

Train more at higher intensity
Post race
Warm down:

some stretching, banannas, soda & cookies

What limited your ability to perform faster:

rotator cuff tendonitis, less than adequate preparation/training, windy conditions

Event comments:

Lots of volunteers out on course, well organized. First-time participant, but I am definitely planning to participate again next year.
