Comments: Last year's time: 25:45.5, improved (-3:45) What would you do differently?: To improve my performance I need to do two things 1) put in more workouts of longer length 2) improve technique Transition 1
Comments: Last year's T1: 4:35, improved (-0:34) This significance of this slight improvement is not immediately obvious. Last year I wore my swimsuit and tri shorts; this year I was stripping out of my wetsuit. I knew this transition was going to be long, I had a very hard time with the left leg, the suit got really hung up on the bulky timer. What would you do differently?: In order to improve T1, I need to: 1) Practice getting suit off quickly Bike
Comments: Last year's time 52:27, improved, (-9:58) The bike was enjoyable. I only got passed by tri-bikes. I had a little trouble when that happened--I drooled over those awesome bikes, especially the Cervelos. My computer malfunctioned and I only got my cadence readout, I would have liked to have had the speed readout, too. Had a GU early in the ride & one more toward the very end of the ride. What would you do differently?: To improve my performance, I need: Put in more miles Transition 2
Comments: Last year 2:27, took 1:12 seconds long I HAD to take a potty break, so I have to live with this long transition time. I have not practiced jumping off moving bike since I switched to clipless, so I did not do it in the race. What would you do differently?: Master jumping off moving bike Run
Comments: If I had known it was only 1.5 miles, I would have run harder. What would you do differently?: To improve performance, I need to 1)Do bricks 2)Speed workouts Post race
Warm down: Walked around, had banana & water Went back to hotel and soaked in the hot tub, swam a bit in the pool. What limited your ability to perform faster: Not putting in my time and miles Event comments: This is a great venue for a race. Nice grassy beach area for families and spectators. The bike and run are on closed roads. After the race, there was an assortment of fruit and bagels, Team Luna Chix handed out samples, and a local sponser provided Cliff Bars. We received waterbottles with the race logo on it at the finish. It seemed that there were lots of experienced racers and only a handful of newbies, compared to last year.
