Run
Comments: Felt like crap the first mile. It was so freeking cold!! The wind was blowing like crazy too. Mike was ahead of me on this run, so I was trying to push harder to keep up with him. What would you do differently?: Worn warmer clothes!! Transition 1
Comments: This was the first race with my new bike and clipless pedals. I had a really hard time getting my right foot clipped in. I pedaled with my heel for about 250 feet until I could get it clipped. Bike
Comments: I took off my running pants in T1 thinking I would be warmer on the bike, WRONG!! My legs were red before I hit the 1 mile mark and numb by 2 miles. My feet were numb from the cold. I now know that I get a lot of ventilation with my shoes!! Course was down Highway 19 (open course) with police at the turns. It was well marked, but lots of old people going to church wondering why there were so many bicycles on the road!! That was scary! Mike left out of T1 before me, but I caught him and stayed with him most of the way. I passed him at about mile 8 so he had incentive to go faster!! What would you do differently?: Again, wear warmer clothes. Transition 2
Comments: Had a cramp in my right calf trying to get my running shoes back on. Other than that, it was ok Run
Comments: Wished I had put my running pants back on. My feet and legs were numb from the cold for the entire time. I felt good other than that. Stayed with Mike. His back was hurting, so we walked some of this run. It was fun to cross the finish line together. Post race
Warm down: Drank water, loaded our bikes in the truck, waited for the awards ceremony. What limited your ability to perform faster: COLD! Event comments: Great race. I have been very pleased with the organization and people at these races. This one was great too. It was nice that it was a small race. Mike and I both got medals because there were only a few of us in the age group. Whatever works!! We came home with BLING BLING!! The kids think we "won", and we did!
