  • Comments: I was pretty disappointed when I finally could see the time clock and realized I was a full 5 minutes slower than I hoped to be. The bike is my real limiter and I just don't know how to fix it. In fact, I felt pretty good all day about the race in general. My swim felt real good, the bike felt good, but just wasn't as good as I had hoped (there seemed to be more wind) and I messed up my nutrition. The run was okay and I thought I had done better than last year (I didn't). After seeing the results online, the wind has gone completely out of my sails. I'm last in my age group! And by 30 minutes - not even close to anyone else! I'm good at transitions though. I came in 4th and 3rd in my age group for transitions (gotta find that silver lining somewhere.....). Also, I think this was the hottest weather (and it wasn't THAT hot) that I've ever raced in. New experience for me (always rain and/or cold, overcast). Oh well, feeling deflated....
