Comments:

think i might've went out to fast, first time dealing with a current in a race, i think it took more out of me than expected. was pretty wiped at the end of the 400.
What would you do differently?:

focus more on pacing out of the gate.
Transition 1
  • 00m
Comments:

T1 was lumped in with the bike so hard to detemrine time. Feel I did pretty good, passed a couple of people running out of transition due to the fact that I don't have my clipless yet and just cycling in my running shoes...
What would you do differently?:

train to run without socks, but would maybe save me 10 seconds.
Bike
  • 44m 57s
  • 12.43 miles
  • 16.59 mile/hr
Comments:

I believe my time was a little faster than shown due to the long run to T1, T1 being lumped into the ride.. computer said I averaged 18.1 so I know my time was much less than reported for the ride... solid ride though.
What would you do differently?:

maybe push a little harder longer, backed off the last mile or so to save the legs.
Transition 2
  • 00m
Comments:

no time for T2, but it was helmet off, rack bike grab visor/race belt and go, maybe 30 seonds.
What would you do differently?:

going to have to train/practice for when I get my cycling shoes.. going to completely change it up.
Run

  • 3.11 miles
  • 08m 46s  min/mile
Comments:

hilly course, but felt good.. need to push it more off the bike.
What would you do differently?:

push it more straight off of the bike.
Post race
Warm down:

stretching/walking.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

swim capability, need to focus.

Event comments:

Team Magic always puts on a good, well organized race.. Hope to do the long course next year.
