I had a great run. I didn't start out to fast and didn't try to keep up with the faster runners. I ran my pace and my race

What would you do differently?:

Nothing, nailed my times.

Transition 1

01m 10s

Comments:

My cleats and pedals were wet, hard to clip in. Again, I should wear my tri shoes and have them already clicked in.

What would you do differently?:

Wear my tri shoes and practice transitions.

Comments:

I had a great ride I thought I was going to hard for the upcoming run but I got off the bike and felt pretty strong. I did not get passed by one person. I moved up through the field passing a lot of people. I passed a guy in my age group at mile 14 who beat me on the run. I never gave the ground back.

What would you do differently?:

Nothing, maybe go faster!

Transition 2

01m 10s

Comments:

Pretty good transition. Shoes off and on good. Had a power gel.

What would you do differently?:

Nothing

Just ran as fast as I could keep the same pace.

What would you do differently?:

Nothing maybe run faster :-)

Post race

Warm down:

stretch a bit

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Probably my weight and the wind, and rain.

Event comments:

Great awards! Great food afterwards! Great results on site, result available on the web same day. Well run, well organized. I'll do more of their races.
