Comments:

Probably started too fast and tried to hang on for the segment. The first section was flat and felt, but tired after 1.5 mile mark
What would you do differently?:

Hold back just a liitle on the pace to start
Transition 1
  • 01m 8s
Comments:

Almost made the mistake of double tying the shoelaces, habit from running events; which would have caused problems. Otherwise, felt good

  • 21.5 miles
  • 21.04 mile/hr
Comments:

It was tough to maintain a steady pace with no other riders around. On problem of being in wave behind elite is that you do not have others to catch as incentive.
Transition 2
  • 01m 11s
Run
  • 16m 30s
  • 2 miles
  • 08m 15s  min/mile
Comments:

Felt good on the descent with the more forefoot approach. Kept it under control on the ascent and was able to finish strong.
What would you do differently?:

Need to work on hills more.
Post race
Warm down:

Grabbed some gatorade and bagels
Headed into the fieldhouse to get out of the rain

Event comments:

this is one of the better origanized events with a large number of cheerful volunteers on the course.
