It was a pretty easy run. They took us by 2 really nasty smelling dumpsters. Water station at the turn around, but didn't feel I needed anything yet. There were a lot of ramdon people out running, which I think they shouldn't have been aloud to run in the same area that we were, they could have run on the opposite side of the street.

Probably could have run harder/faster.

I was 4 racks in from the first run, so it was easy to find my bike. Off with the shoes, slipped into the bike shoes pretty easily. I did put my gloves on because my hands were feeling really sweaty. Helmet on and straped. Run out of transition was easy with bike shoes on already.

Work on getting on bike faster out of transition.

I felt really good out on the bike. Got on and as I was getting started I saw my friend Brian and said nice transition, then I was off. First part of the race was going through the shopping district so had some cornering, which i felt very comfortable with. Was pushing pretty good so out with a tailwind. Average about 20.5-21. Turned around and right into a headwind. Wasn't real bad, still able to average 18-19mph. Once I got over the bridge the wind died and pushed it to over a 20mph. Got to a low gear coming in and spun the legs a little bit.

Was pissed during the race because there were younger kids out there, about 14, who were drafting. Not that they should be giving out penalties, but at least yelling at him to back off.

More training will help. Think I'm getting some aero's soon. Just got tired of being down on the road bike and had to come up sometimes.

Came in and the legs were a little jello. Coming the other way, didn't know how many racks and I ended up passing my rack, by only one. Bike shoes off good, running shoes on got stuck a bit.

Practice.

Took about the first 5 mins to get the legs going normally again. I ended up passing a lot of people. I know I can be strong at the end if I play the cards right, so I always try to save a little.

Push harder/faster.

Grabbed my camera to catch my friend coming in. Found a girl I knew from UF. She is on our swim team, so talked to her for a little bit. She won the female U23 group.


Not much.


The volunteers were fantastic, they had plenty of people out on both the run and bike courses.

My issues with this race are, first I checked the finishers list that they posted, said I finished 1st in my age group. Then when they are handing out the awards, I end up 3rd. How does that happen. If the people finished before me they should have had there times before me. Don't post if the results are not accurate.
Second, they didn't have anything to do post-race for 2.5hrs until the awards ceromony.
