Run
Comments: I held back on this run and it was kind of easy. What would you do differently?: Nothing. Transition 1
Comments: I screwed up the straps on the shoes and had to re-feed 3 of them while trying to ride up hill. What would you do differently?: Not try a new shoe strap idea. Bike
Comments: I went easier than normal due to the extra length of the bike and final run. I had a flat tire toward the end. About 2 miles out I took a left corner and the rear tire slid. I looked down and saw it was going flat. Luckily it leaked slowly. I was almost completely flat near the end, but I was on a steep 10mph climb, so did not loose too much time (other than the resistance of a flat tire). My final right turn and ride to T2 was slow as I limped in. Transition 2
Comments: Did this one well. Run
Comments: A lot of cramps with every single step. Multiple times I stopped to walk, stretch, and massage out the cramps. I took water at all opportunities and felt well hydrated. Post race
Warm down: Stetched. What limited your ability to perform faster: Training and cramping problem that I need to finally address. Event comments: My goal was between 2:30 adn 2:35. Just missed it due mostly to the cramping, also the T1 and flat tire slowed me. Last updated: 2009-09-25 12:00 AM
