![]() Run
Comments: started the run mid-pack but after mile 1, started to drop back. Mabye started off too fast/eager. averaged 10min mile (personal best). What would you do differently?: slower pace at the start. don't rush/sprint from the line to keep up. ![]() Transition 1
Comments: Need to practice the run->bike transition. clip tension needed to be adjusted (to tight to clip in/out). What would you do differently?: none. ![]() Bike
Comments: too busy/nervous to grab the drink bottle from the cage, very few opportunites to drink. What would you do differently?: gear changes for uphill sooner. scan further ahead into the trail to prepare speed/gear changes (ie, speed up just before uphills). use the camelbak. ![]() Transition 2
What would you do differently?: unstrap shoes before getting to my rack position, possibly leave shoes clipped in and riding with feet on top of shoes (need to practice this). ![]() Run
Comments: right leg started to cramp almost immediately into this run. had to walk it off a couple of times. cliff shots provided by volunteers at start of this run helped tremendously. What would you do differently?: wear the 'fuel belt' that I brought for the race (I didn't think I'd need it), pack a few cliff shots or equivalent. ![]() Post race
Warm down: light walking and stretching. What limited your ability to perform faster: during the bike portion - gearing issues (not able to get into the right gear; mechanical issues). questionable rear brake; possibly needed new pads; prevented me from going downhill faster than I wanted to. Event comments: it was a great race. I accomplished my primary goal: finish the race safely and learning from it. Last updated: 2004-03-06 12:00 AM

None really. Since this was my first duathlon I mostly mostly kept checking my gear, watching the other experienced athletes do their setups, and imagining the entire race mentaly.
stretching, quick/light jogging.
