Comments:

Great siting around the buoys because they were easy to see. The finish was difficult to see as it was a single red flag on the shore with people standing around it.
What would you do differently?:

Site better. Sprint in the middle a bit more.
Transition 1
  • 01m 29s
Comments:

Felt good about my overall transition except someone scooted my bike over so they could have the end while we were out in pre-race briefing. Fortunately, I quickly noticed my bike was right next to where I had left it.

Comments:

I was having trouble with my middle ratio gears (2 & 6) so I stayed in a lower gear, thus whipping up my cadence. I was anticipating the big hill around every corner after the half way point.
What would you do differently?:

Pushed the gears a little more. Pushed myself a little harder.
Transition 2

Run
  • 15m 21s
  • 1.9 miles
  • 08m 05s  min/mile
Comments:

The course was very hilly, small but steep, and I wasn't expecting it.
What would you do differently?:

Not walk at all (I took 10 steps).
Post race
Warm down:

Drink lots of water and drink recovery drink.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

My bike and acknowledging the burn.

Event comments:

Good little race! Fun because it isn't so big. Fun raffle and give away prizes afterward! Definitely want to stay for this ceremony!
