Well . . on mile 7 I had a flat. A nail/tack was sticking out of my tire. . so needless to say this pretty much ruined my bike segment. I don't take spare tube/tools/co2 on short course so rode 5 miles on flat tire. Of course this was after I was off the bike for 5 minutes trying to figure out what was wrong.

What would you do differently?:

Uhm. . . not get a flat?

Transition 2

01m 44s

Comments:

Decent

What would you do differently?:

At this point my race was over. . .but finished it out anyway.

Run

Comments:

Run felt a lot better than in past triathlons. This may have been due to the fact that I got a flat on the bike and needed to make up time or was a little more rested.

What would you do differently?:

Just try and run harder.

Post race

Warm down:

Water and Gatorade

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Flat tire

Event comments:

Overall it would have been an awesome race. I was flying on the bike till I got the flat and then it was not so much fun for the next 5 miles. Run was good.
