Run
Comments: First multisport, took it easy...I think. What would you do differently?: Run a little harder Transition 1
Comments: Rode in running shoes, no toeclips, made for fast transition, slow ride. I'd been fighting sore metatarsal joints, so I wanted to minimize pressure on that part of the foot. I rode mostly on my heels. Extremely inefficient, but my training is geared toward the River Bank Run (15.5 mi) in a few weeks. What would you do differently?: Nothing. Bike
Comments: First race on a bike. Didn't push too hard. I was on a mountain bike and it sucked to have EVERYONE fly by on their faster rides. I was proud to be the 2nd mountain bike guy in the crowd. What would you do differently?: Buy a rode bike. Ride harder Transition 2
Comments: Bike racks did not accomodate my tall mountain bike. It took several tries to rack it, splitting the cover of my seat in the process. What would you do differently?: Get a new bike and practice ahead of time. Run
Comments: First multisport. Now I know why Ironman people look so goofy when starting the run. This is hard! Picked up speed, finished well. What would you do differently?: Stretch a few seconds more. Post race
Warm down: Lots of stretching and consuming fruit, Accelerade, etc. My leg muscles cramped a bit afterward. What limited your ability to perform faster: Inexperience and my mountain bike. Event comments: First multisport. I felt cared for and taken care of at every turn. Locker room and showers were available. Good post race stats available. VERY well run. No complaints.
