Comments:

After the turn around on the out and back, I had my first flat. I heard a "thud thud thud" and stopped to change it. 5 minutes later, another flat..my vavle stem failed. Got it fixed and off again. What do you know, a slashed tire! I had to wait for the sag wagon to get a new tire/tube.

At 56 miles, ran into a friend who had two flats and was DNF'ing. Stopped to make sure she was ok and chat.
What would you do differently?:

Bike was a disaster. Neck bothered me the second loop and took it easy. My seat post slipped 2 cm sometime.

  • 02m 45s
Comments:

Had to get another gel ready and work on my hamstrings because of the bike issue. Someone gave me tums which was great.

Comments:

My legs were fresh b/c I took it easier on the bike, but that's what you're supposed to do! First lap was solid. Second was good, third was the pain zone.
What would you do differently?:

Better running base. Had a bunch of 10-14 mile runs, then one 16 and one 18.
Post race
Warm down:

stretch and massage

What limited your ability to perform faster:

mechanical issues and bike fit.
