Had a great run. I wanted to push the first run and then go from there. I think I could have run 30 seconds faster and still had plenty left for the rest of the race.
What would you do differently?:

Maybe push a little harder on the first run.

Here's where I probably messed up. I wanted to conserve on the bike but I really laid up way too much. I should have been easily 5 minutes faster on the bike. I just goofed this up!
What would you do differently?:

Pushed harder on the bike. I had it but just didn't use it.
Transition 2
  • 01m 20s
Comments:

Well, by this time my arms, legs, feet, and everything else were frozen. Made getting through transition fun!

Comments:

Well, not too bad considering conditions. I couldn't feel my feet at all until 2 miles in. By this time there was really no one around me putting any pressure on so I kind of settled into a realatively easy pace. I probably could have been about a minute faster had I been pushed.
What would you do differently?:

Run harder.
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

Nice physical effort but mentally slipped alitte bit on the bike.

All in all a very good race. This was my first entry into the Elite division and well I've got some work to do especially on the bike. But, I'm happy with the performance and may enter more races next year as an Elite.
