Comments: transition was put on the chip and go Run
Comments: My Garmin had died earlier in the morning so I only had my watch to go by. Kept a decent pace and tried to follow the racers in front of me. The course was marked but it could have been better. Felt really strong on the hills, I can see how challenging the course could be after a 24 mile bike and long swim. Since I was running the relay I didn't have to worry about the other 2 legs and it was nice to just focus on the running leg. I PR'd the run (very excited) ran a sub 8:30min mile, was expecting to run 10 min miles because my legs haven't been cooperating and my training runs have been super slow. I'm glad that the run went well. The course support was spotty. The boy scouts did a great job making sure racers got water but the high school "honor students" were barely alive with. One racer and I joked when we saw a kid asleep under and umbrella on the course. There were no course markers for distance and no one on the course knew, only a marker at 1 mile to go, would have been nice to know where you were. What would you do differently?: Nothing .... Can't beat a PR on a hilly course. Post race
Warm down: doused with a couple cups of water then tried to find the rest of the crew ... They weren't at the finish line because I expected it to take me more than 1 hour to finish the course. Walked around for 30 minutes, picked up gear then went back to finish line to see friends finish. What limited your ability to perform faster: Nothing Last updated: 2008-05-18 12:00 AM

Since I was the final leg of a relay I did a lot of relaxing in the shade. It was warm out yesterday so I didn't start warming up until the first women started coming in. Ran up to the parking lot and back. Just trying to say out of the way of other racers
