Comments: Got very comfortable, very quickly. Even without a warm-up. Didn't really try to push too hard, which is good, because I had more energy for the bike. What would you do differently?: I would have remembered my goggles. Borrowed Ron's, and he had to do without, because he started before I finished. Felt bad about that. Thanks, Ron! Transition 1
Comments: Was a bit slow in T-1, just due to the fact that i had to layer-up for the 30 degree bike. And was a bit indecisive on what to put on and what to skip. What would you do differently?: I should have had a concrete plan before starting the race on what I was going to wear for the bike/run. But because of the frigid temps, I was playing it more by how I feel, and that cost me some time. Bike
Transition 2
Comments: I went down the wrong lane and lost a few seconds going around to rack my bike. Also, lost some time getting my bike shoes off and laces tied on running shoes...fingers were a bit stiff and cold. ***Felt very strong running with bike, and running out of transition to the run segment! That's a change. What would you do differently?: I need to get some 'quick laces' for my shoes. Took additional :20 just tying my shoes. Run
Comments: Actually had my legs after the bike. Got into a good tempo pretty quickly. Didn't fly, but for the first race of the season, this run was better than expected. What would you do differently?: Nothing. Post race
Warm down: A bit of stretching and drinking fluids. I had some sweets to replenish the glycogen about :15 after finishing. What limited your ability to perform faster: Probably went as well as I could expect for as little run training as I did over the winter. Kept my candence high throughout. That's all I can ask for. Event comments: Other than being damn cold, this race was a winner! Great distance for early in the season. I will do this next year. Last updated: 2006-03-19 12:00 AM
