My take on the first run is start @ the very back & take it ez with a nice even 7:30 splits.... I felt like that pushing the first run doesn't set me up for a good bike... goal Accomplished!!!!

I hate starting out fast only to get passed by faster runners... Mentally speaking it doesn't do anything for me.... Figured this race I would pass slower runners by starting @ the back of the pack... This cost a few seconds on my overall time. The benefits out weigh the loss of time

Had some issues clicking into my shoes... Need to practice having my shoes locked into the pedals & jumping on... I keep telling myself this

Just haven't biked that much this year.... avg should have been better... but I had fun

train more... Only trained about 8 months in the last 2 years

felt like I was going very slow

Thought I could avg. 7:30's for this run ha ha ha.... Spent the rest of the run getting passed by those I caught on bike portion.... Good times

Saw Pete coming back about a 1/4 mile before I hit the turnaround.... Dude was looking strong

At the end of the race I would SWEAR that someone was trying to pass me at the finish (or as I would say going "Jones" one me ha ha sorry Jones)... So I started sprinting as hard as I could.... Only to ask my wife & Pete if they noticed someone trying to overtake me @ the line.... No one was trying to pass me... Odd

not sure.... I think it's just a matter of time before I can run a 6:xx for the first run & 7:xx for the 2nd run... it's all good...

My wife found me to shade & babied me :)


Temps in the upper 80's.... 15 mph headwind of the south...


Good race... had fun... will do it again next year.... oh the pain of child birth is so short lived
