• Comments: W00t: - 4th in AG, 7th overall – not a bad standing for having a crappy day - A very pretty course and superb race organization. Highly recommend! Don't go looking for a PR though :) Meh: - Bummer to miss the podium by about 2 minutes. I keep thinking "if only I could have stuck with the pack at the swim" or "if only I could have had faster transitions" or "if only I didn't get the stupid leg cramps"... But 2 minutes is 2 minutes. I just didn't have it yesterday. - I need to learn how to manage the heat better – not sure how to do it in Seattle though. I guess I'll just keep going to hot places to race (next up – Troika in Spokane!) - Definitely need to work on my climbing strength – I just didn't have the stamina to keep my watts up for 7 miles up the hill...
