Comments:

Felt good starting out. It's amazing how much difference it makes running on fresh legs. I'd eaten 2 Hammer Gels about 10 minutes before the start. Weather was chilly at first--had on my cycling jacket and gloves.
Transition 1
  • 00m 40s
Comments:

Didn't have my shoes already clipped in and had a bit of trouble actually getting them set.
What would you do differently?:

Clip shoes into bike pre-race.

Comments:

I started a bit shaky after my rough transition, but I got into the groove pretty quickly. Around mile 5, my left elbow pad torqued down and I had to ride the rest of the segment "holding" myself in the aero position.
What would you do differently?:

Perhaps try an Aerodrink bottle.
Transition 2
  • 01m 1s
Comments:

A bit of trouble getting my run shoes on; got a rock in the left shoe the first time trying to get it on.
What would you do differently?:

Keep shoes clipped into bike and dismount without shoes.
Run

  • 3.11 miles
  • 08m 05s  min/mile
Comments:

Let myself adjust to the run for 5 minutes post-bike, then picked up the pace for the last 20. The end felt a bit hard, but I pushed to a solid finish.
What would you do differently?:

Fewer gel packs. By the end of the run, my stomach hurt.
Post race
Warm down:

Stretching, "the stick."

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Just need a bit more training and, perhaps, to change up my nutrition a bit.

Event comments:

A great first race of my first season. Fairly good crowd--mostly good people but the inevitable few jerks. Overall, a race I'll definitely do again!
