Another less than stellar ows. Sighting was tough b/c the middle third of the swim was into the sun. Still 30 secs faster than last year.

Comments:

The first 5 miles were mostly uphill and quite painful. After that, the course evened out and I felt much better. Pushed hard. NP = 163 (FTP = 165)

This was the first race on my new bike. All good except I'm still having saddle issues. Did a lot of wiggling in the seat trying to get comfortable. Have a nasty little saddle sore today. :(
What would you do differently?:

Wear different tri shorts

Comments:

The first mile was a long gradual uphill and it hurt. I started severely stitching immediately (just like last year). I just kept telling myself "stitches won't cause injury" and "no ones ever died from a stitch". My legs didn't feel that bad but I couldn't catch my breath. The stitch finally subsided at the turnaround. Thank goodness that uphill at mile 1 was now a downhill at mile 3!
What would you do differently?:

Wear my Garmin! Start my forced breathing technique right out of T2 to help combat the stitch.

Not the swim or run I had hoped for but I still beat last years time by 2 min.

Sorry your race was not up to your expectations! Still, you got third, that's something to write home about! I think you rock! Did you use the new saddle? I can totally relate to your saddle woes! :-(
