Comments:

Strong head wind for most of the race. Most of first 1/2 up hill, difficult to hold a steady 14-15 mph. Second half very enjoyable and able to hold much better mph.
What would you do differently?:

My main issue was the wind.
Transition 2
  • 01m 14s
Comments:

Didn't seem like 1:14...
What would you do differently?:

Need to practice more transitions.

Comments:

Both calves began cramping during the first 200 yards. Stretched them and didn't have any other issues - other than being pooped until the turn-around.
What would you do differently?:

Push a bit harder.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around. Stretched. Drank lots of Gatorade.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Since I only trained with P90X for the past month, or so, I'm not unhappy with my results.
