Comments:

Poor transition, 17th in AG. Mainly due to wetsuit getting stuck on timing chip and watch. Also first time putting on socks. Things were laid out well. Overran my bike rack . . . weird.

Check cadence sensor activated for tri bike

Comments:

Forgot to check cadence sensor with tri bike, had to do on the fly
Successfully managed 10K fear while cycling, kept the pace where I could, assuming that I could tap into the necessary energy for the run.
2nd half faster than 1st half
Very happy with avg cadence given hilly course

What would you do differently?:

Drink less water on the bike when overcast.
Always can train more hills in preparation.
Gave all I had . . . didn't have much; however when looking at my sprint splits on this course, I was almost as fast for longer distance.

01m 9s

Comments:

much better T2 than T1, 6th in AG

Fears were misplace, run went really well, especially first half

Post race

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Need to train more hills. Glad I focused on run, run intervals leading up to race day. Saturday training ride of 22 miles probably dragged my bike down a littl.e
