Again, I was entered as a Clydesdale, not in an age group. 30 total Clydesdales in this race. I finished 21 of 30 for the race. 12th of 30 for this leg.

Enter myself in the appropriate time group.

I was pretty gassed already at T1 from the extra effort in the pool, so I took some extra time getting ready for the bike.

Just move faster.

Had this been a normal day without the wind, I would've felt better, but I'm 6'3" and 205, I think the wind ate me up. Need to practice riding in a more aerodynamic position, couldn't get low enough.

I would train much more, and practice my transitions. Practice in a lower position on the drops.

Got off the bike and felt like I was walking on jelly. I trained a bike-run before, but I must have worked harder on the bike leg. I could not run to the transition area. I really took my time trying to loosen up. Drank a CytoMax 6oz drink.

Train more.

Need to put in more miles on the asphalt. This was a good learning experience to see how my body responded to biking at a high intensity, then immediately running.

Train more. Take less time in T2. Between T1 and T2, I added probably 4-5 minutes to my overall time. As I get better at those, my times should improve.

None really. Stretched a bit when I was packing up after the race. Drank 6 more oz of CytoMax.


Conditioning.


Really impressed with the way this race was presented and organized. Other than the swims starting 10-12 minutes behind, it was an awesome experience. I will do this again next year!
