Just didn't feel that great on swim. Felt really tired the first 250...not sure why.

Not bad. Bikes were in a great position for transition...on the very end of the rack. Guess it pays to get there early :0)

I was frustrated with the bike...basically, I had 2 gears -- hard and easy with nothing in between...Had to straddle bike and walk for the very end of the last hill.

What would you do differently?:

Think about clips/better bike.

Transition 2

00m 34s

Comments:

Something to be said about biking with running shoes on....however, time gained in T2 is definitely LOST on the bike!

Comments:

It was getting warm...My time exceeded anything I thought I could do, so I was pleased with that.

Post race

Warm down:

Walked around and stretched

What limited your ability to perform faster:

No hills to train on ...spinning just isn't the same. Also, bike gears.
