For some reason the first km of the race, I didn't feel "comfortable". Once I got in to a groove, I felt more at eeze. Maybe it was just nerves being that it was my first multisport event.

Nothing. I feel I ran a good pace for the 1st run.

Things went as well as they could have considering I'm using biking shoes instead of tri shoes.

Get tri shoes in the future & learn how to "mount & clip" the bike instead of stopping & hoping on it.

Considering how hilly it was, I did manage to plan my strategy as I was riding...when to spin downhills for momentum, when to just glide to save energy, etc.

Drive the course before a new event to check things out.

Again, took a little bit of time once I dismounted the bike since my legs didn't want to run. Also took a breather & a swig of Gatorade.

Pratice more brick transitions.

I was starting to feel it after the first km of the 2nd run. I took in some gatorage at the transition and it didn't seem to sit right. By the 2km mark, I had some funny feelings in my gut, but that settled within a few minutes.

Nothing. Ran with what I had left.

Walked around, and to the "feed" area for a pita.


Nothing....this was my best effort & I'm extremely happy with my performance.
