Much more hilly than I'm used too. Ran fairly well. First mile was in 7 min then the big hill came up and that put an end to anthing close to that pace.

Stronger than anticipated headwind on the way out. Passed many on the downhills only to be passed on the next uphill.

Need to work on hills, get aerobars, ride lots. Really looking forward to bettering my bike time through the season.

Comments:

Don't have tri shoes or the bike handling skills to get out of any shoes while riding. Just wanted to get through the transition without problems. Still way too slow and need to get faster through the season.

Same course as leg 1, but very different runner. By now I was having some GI problems so I had to walk some of the course. First I decided to walk the uphill but ended up walking mre than that.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

First multisport race so it was a learning experience. Definitely need better consider my nutrition before races this long.
