Didn't have marker at one mile point so I didn't know how I was doing time-wise. Knew I wasn't quite up to speed yet though.

Be more self-aware so I wouldn't have to depend on mile markers!

VERY psyched about transition time. Had a tough time getting shoes on while riding...fingers were numb and I couldn't feel for the velcro strap on the shoe. Had to look down to see it.

Nothing. Don't want to wear gloves.

I REALLY need to work on corners. I'm still such a sissy! Other than that, I pushed it as hard as I could.

VERY excited about both transitions. Got in and out quick.

Nothing.

I was really tired by halfway into the run. I don't get the feeling of wanting to stop and walk too often, but I sure did then! Couldn't stop though, too many friends in the race would make fun of me!

Really focus better the last few hundred meters. One woman passed me about that time and I just let her go instead of really reaching deep and fighting. She ended up first in my age group and I ended up second by 11 seconds.

Did a lot of walking. Trotted back onto the course to look for Bob. He looked great! Really looked good at the end of the race. (probably looked a lot better than I did!)


Endurance just isn't there yet.


Race was 15 minutes late, which doesn't really matter when it's warm out. but when the temps in the upper 40's and we're all in racing clothes, it's too cold to stand around that extra time without warmups on. Awards were also almost 1/2 hour late. Transition area not really set up well. They've done better in the past.
