Swim
Comments: Had difficulty getting my breathing rhythm going, but once I got it, I was fine and passed several people. What would you do differently?: Just need to practice my breathing more. Transition 1
Comments: I don't know why this transition took so long. I didn't take the time to dry myself off, other than my feet. What would you do differently?: I don't know. Bike
Comments: I was not ready for an off-road race. The course beat my body pretty hard, and about 3/4 of the way in, I was pretty worn out. At one point, I got off my bike and walked it through a deep ravine, rather than take a chance on wiping out (a drop-off on one side). I also stopped and let everybody else pass me so if I wiped out, no one would end up on top of me. What would you do differently?: Practice more! Transition 2
Comments: Wore running shoes with my bike. I don't know what I could have done differently here. What would you do differently?: I don't know. Run
Comments: I ran out of steam halfway through the run. My hips took a pounding on the mountain bike course, and then running along a paved path didn't help. My body just refused to run any more. Running is where I lost this race. My times were comparable with the other two women in my age group, except for my running time, which was twice theirs. What would you do differently?: Practice riding off road more and doing off-road to running bricks. Post race
Warm down: Found a bench and a bottle of water. What limited your ability to perform faster: Sleep deprived the night before (4th of July--fireworks and sirens all night long!), not enough off road riding practice, and actually not feeling that great before the race even started. However, once the race started, I completely forgot about my upset stomach. Event comments: Good race, great volunteers. I think the official ranking (my placing 130/141) includes all of the teams members. I think my actual placing is 130/130. Last updated: 2014-04-28 12:00 AM
