13m 35s min/mile

Comments:

I shredded my calves on the bike and i could hardly lift my feet. the run started out uphill and I had to walk a couple times. I struggled most of the way. I picked up a little at the turn but when i got on uphill trail, I had to walk. I had Heart Rate left,but could run up hill. I might can blame some of this on road bike, but my belly is the biggest problem. Slowest 5k ever in a sprint triathlon.

Post race

Warm down:

race site had a gym and I took a shower.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

weight and lack of training. also, toughest sprint course i have ever raced.

Event comments:

tons of volunteers, very organized, well marked and monitored course. This was a first class race and one of the best organized races i have ever done. Post race was good, results were fast. The only complaint was door prizes. They had so many, it took an hour to give them all away and we didn't win any.
