Transition 1

No swim = No T1

Bike

37m 57s
13 miles
20.55 mile/hr

Comments:

One time I didn't corner very well and went all the way into the oncoming traffic lane... Very lucky no cars were coming. I was really happy with how this ride went. Only 2 folks passed me.

What would you do differently?:

Need to learn to corner better. I need to get past that fear of getting low.

Transition 2

00m 37s

Comments:

No comments really. Easy transition.

Run

20m 14s
3.11 miles
06m 31s min/mile

Comments:

Pleasantly surprised I was able to hold that pace the whole time. Actually it was closer to a 7min pace as the course was a bit shorter than 5k. Really happy. I got passed at the very end, but other than that, I held my own!

What would you do differently?:

Didn't really need the water they were handing out. I probably shouldn't have had any, I choked on it a bit :D

Post race

Warm down:

Oranges and grapes!

Event comments:

This was a great race! They need to have it later in the year so they don't have trouble with the water being so cold. They talked about ending it this year, but I hope they reconsider and just schedule it for summertime.
