N/A. Missed that since one of my strengths is transition, I *theoretically* lost time against the field here.

Really thought I would have an overall faster ride, in spite of the headwind going out. Rode very strong 2nd half with tailwind.
What would you do differently?:

Be a little tougher.

  • 00m 48s
Comments:

Took about 2 extra seconds to get shoes on. New Zoots. Liked them overall, though. Tied for 1st in AG for T2.

Comments:

Walked a total of about 20 seconds...a few steps early on because I had a moment of mental weakness, and a few seconds to get water at aid station. Otherwise, I felt like I was running steady, though not fast. This is so much my limiter.
What would you do differently?:

Not walk.
Post race
Warm down:

Stand around and visit and walk to keep the blood moving. Then beer. :)

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Not a strong runner. Headwinds going out.

Event comments:

Great race. Very well organized. Swim cancellation not a huge issue...totally understandable, given the conditions.
Stayed at Omni Marina hotel...easy to get to/from race site and expo...would recommend it.
