The run was 1.9 miles or so. It was definitely a little short. Not that I'm complaining. I need to really start running more. It'll get there, but overall I went too hard on this run, I think. Took me too long to get comfortable on the bike. . .

Out and back. On the "out" section, the wind was killing me. So was the lactic acid built up from the run. After the burn stopped and I was able to get my breathing under control, I was able to hammer.

Bike time includes T1 and T2. Not bad, I think I averaged 19.4 or so over the 10 miles. Considering I averaged maybe 17 on the way out, I think I picked it up pretty well on the way in.

I really should've pushed harder on the first mile of the 2nd run. I think I took it too easy thinking my HR was going to skyrocket. It never did during the first mile. I was really upset with myself, because I think I could've really made up some time on the second run. I really lost the race on the 2nd run, AG wise. I don't think I could've caught 2nd place, but I know I could've gone under 1:00:00 for my time. Oh well. Lesson learned.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Overall training volume. I am really trying to slowly ramp training up without going crazy early in the year. I want to take is slow and work it into my schedule with school and all.

Racing will improve, hopefully.

Nice job. Yes, the wind going out blew, but no, the run was not short. Innocent
