Ran at comfortable Pace

Probably could have put out some more the first run section. I think I was behind about half of the participants going into the bike section.

First Transition took a few minutes to get my helmet on. Had to tell a girl her helmet was on backwards.

Would be nice to have aero bars to place helmet on them.

Should have put a little more effort out I guess the outbound. Thought I did an ok job on teh way back in. Found a few people who passed me and stayed close enough to them to get them at T2 or in the run.

Have odometer to see where on the course I was at and know how much to put out. Drink more or get a gel for potassium

Pretty easy Transition get helmet off and rack bike no shoe change.

Maybe should have ran with biking gloves on, that took some time that I didn't have to spend.

Started finding people to pick off and watching them start to walk or slow down. I checked the time and saw I could make 1 hour and 15 so I went for it and did.

Should have drank more on the bike I calves were craping really bad about the first 1/2 to 3/4 of a mile and then they settled down for the rest of the run. I could have put that much out for the first run.

Walked about 1/4 to 1/2 mile drank 2 16 ounce bottles of water and ate a recovery bar.


My lack of experience.


This was my first race and I really didn't know what to expect, how much effort to put out, how much to save ect. I really did enjoy the race I had a great time and was even thinking during the race that I was having fun. Met a few really nice people and just had a great day!
