Comments:

Did not go all out on this one. Actually started slow and wanted to cruise the whole way. Had a long day ahead of me and didn't want to burn myself up on this swim.

What would you do differently?:

Nothing. Maybe swim a little harder, but it wasn't really worth it on this swim.

Transition 1

01m 13s

Comments:

First succesful leap onto bike with shoes already strapped in.

What would you do differently?:

Practice more

Comments:

I didn't try to hammer anything on this ride. I knew it would be hilly, and I knew that I still needed legs for the next 2 races. I should have gone a little harder, but in retrospect, my pace was fine. I wanted to have good race on Sunday, so my goal was to cruise thru this one.

What would you do differently?:

Nothing

Transition 2

01m 5s

Comments:

Got out of my pedals and dismounted on the fly, overtaking a few people at the dismount line.

What would you do differently?:

Practice more

Goal was to shut down this run and cruise at M pace, and finish feeling good enough to race later in the day and tomorrow.

What would you do differently?:

Nothing.

Post race

Warm down:

Ultragen, massage, a little food. Rode bike back up the hill with my gear.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I could have raced faster, but my goal was to cruise through this race feeling good.

Event comments:

Race # 2 done, felt like I could race later in the day. Went and ate a cheeseburger and took a nap.
