ok bike ride except for chain. Lost a lot of time on downhills- got passed on downhill! Lost about 4-5 mins with chain problem. Was having problems shifting on hills, than putting chain back on.

  • 01m 54s
Comments:

Feel like bike is too big to jump off while moving. Overall- felt pretty good getting shoes on, hat on, sneakers- etc.
Run
  • 37h 09m
  • 3.11 miles
  • 11h 56m 43s  min/mile
Comments:

Was happy to get through run. First time with hills. Slow and steady on teh hills was the name of the game. Concentrated on my own comfortable pace.
What would you do differently?:

Train on hills more- for better speed. Take goo during end of bike, so you can drink some h20 with it- too sticky, makes you thirsty. Need to work on speed now.
Post race
Warm down:

cold water- stretch & shade.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

chain, lack of flip turns on swim, not used to heat, slow running.
