Pre-race routine:

Changed flat tire on car en route to race. Based on time, I could have a fall back career as pit crew.

This race format was 10 mile bike, 3 mile run, 10 mile bike, so the results below may look skewed.

The runs below are bike split sand the bike split is actually my run.
Event warmup:

20 minute run.
Run
  • 23m 48s
  • 9 miles
  • 02m 38s  min/mile
Comments:

Probably could have pushed a bit harder.
Transition 1
  • 00m 25s
Comments:

This was actually going from bike to run.

My transition times were basically the same as the firts place guy, so no room for improvement here.
Bike
  • 23m 10s
  • 3 miles
  • 7.77 mile/hr
Comments:

This was my fastest pace at a race yet.

Around mile 1, someone caught me. She settled in to my pace. If I lifted, she lifted. When I slowed to let her lead, she slowed. So I kicked. I got a little gap but then she out kicked me. I don't know why she had decided to pace off of me when she was faster.
What would you do differently?:

This was my fastest run in a race since college (20 years ago). I just need to keep working and improving.
Transition 2
  • 00m 25s
Run
  • 24m 6s
  • 9 miles
  • 02m 41s  min/mile
What would you do differently?:

Based on the time trial I would do later in the day, I had more room to push harder and did not utilize it.
Post race
Warm down:

Drank Endurox, and started hitting the protein. I had a road bike time trial later in the day to get ready for.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Mental. I need to get cozier with that burning felling.

Event comments:

This is the first time that Run-Far has botched timing an event. The age groups for the men are a mess. Guys who should have placed were in the wrong age group.

Guys who did place had times that should not have been a placing.

At the awards, the guys called up in my AG were slower than me. But then I get called up in the next AG. I'm not sure how the results actually are shaking out.
