Age Group = Female 30-39

Pre-race routine:

Woke up freezing and got everyone dressed and out the door. Had an egg and cheese sandwich. The car thermometer said 29 degrees as we pulled out of the driveway.

Event warmup:

Walked around, jumped around a little to keep warm. Stretched only a little. It was too cold to do anything!

Run

19m 14s
2.2 miles
08m 44s min/mile

Comments:

Just tried to pace myself. I think I went out a little two quick though, and the UPHILL was a bit startling. I must have gone out way too fast because I was actually sweating (it was still COLD) and this is a much faster pace than I've ever gone before.

Time included with the Bike time

What would you do differently?:

Not break my running belt right before the race so it's easier to change clothes and not lose my number.

Bike

1h 07m 3s
16 miles
14.32 mile/hr

Comments:

Gears were NOT working right. Couldn't get out of the larger gear at all, shich made the uphills downright painful. Even shifting within didn't always work smoothly.

Transition 2

Comments:

Time included with the Bike time

Run

21m 14s
2.2 miles
09m 39s min/mile

Comments:

Hamstrings started hurting as I got off the bike. Started burning on the way up the hill. Had to walk/jog the hill but managed to run the rest. Can't belive I still broke the 10 mile/hour pace!

Post race

Warm down:

Stretched and got in the car to search for a HOT cup of coffee to warm me up.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Problems shifting gears on my bike.
Bike is TOO small and my back was killing me!
Wheezing and ears aching on 2nd run - can't help beng "sick" though...
