 Run
Comments: went out too fast as always, but felt good and strong What would you do differently?: not go out too fast(sounds the same after every race) and make sure i can get water at all the stations  Transition 1
Comments: my first multi event, but i felt like i did it well. What would you do differently?: i can't remember it well enough so it must have been pretty good, otherwise i'd remember  Bike
Comments: not much, started off pretty fast but didn't drop my speed too much, the speed drop was only when the wind came accross the fields, so that was to be expected What would you do differently?: i need to ride more hills and when it's windy. learn to drink while biking and take in more gel, i had a squirt at the onset and then didn't take in anymore. Transition 2
Comments: maybe not sit down to put the shoes on? oh well, it wasn't for very long Run
Comments: SUCKED SUCKED SUCKED, running after biking HURTS, i felt like i couldn't keep a good pace, or a pace at all, was contemplating selling my bike, but it got a little better. What would you do differently?: positive thinking might have helped me here. i need to do more bricks, a lot more bricks. Post race
Warm down: what is a warm down, is that when you grab food and coke and sit down? What limited your ability to perform faster: lack of experience on the bike, It's the 5th time i've been on a road/tri bike on the road. lack of bricks in my workouts in ability to drink on the bike, i need an aero drinkything Event comments: i need to relearn how to drink on the run, i used to run much slower so it wasn't a problem, it's kind of a problem now.

Champion 5850 Michigan | Subject: RE: willow Duathlon i couldn't hook up my computer on my bike, so i had no idea the speed or distance while riding, maybe they added the extra distance to the first 5k, mine and fromers time were substantially different than what was posted at the race, like more than a minute different. so you were there, huh, did you do as well as expected? |

Expert 666 St. Thomas, ON | Subject: RE: willow Duathlon I did way better than expected (due to my knee) on the first 5K, and the bike. I had to walk the last 5K because of my knee (which was not unexpected), so my time doesn't reflect the race I had. |

Champion 5850 Michigan | Subject: RE: willow Duathlon congrats, and well done. that is why i never ask people thier time, just how they did, a 30 minute 5k for you might be great, but a 40 minute 5k is great for people, too, just depends on the situation. any other races in the area you plan on doing? we would love for you to join the MI mafia, we'll overlook the whole canada thing |
