Comments: Not bad for having a broken left arm. Left arm did little to no pulling, just moved it through the water to keep going. Transition 1
Comments: Took my time, but probably didn't need to. First race of the year, so I was a little extra careful with things. Difficultly mounting bike due to broken left arm, so I had to stop and take my time with that. Otherwise no problems. Bike
Comments: Felt pretty good, tried to push hard on the hills. Backed off a couple times, but otherwise pushed on. Left arm was pretty stiff throughout the ride, and my back started to ache near the end (I assume due to being slightly off balance favoring my broken arm). Transition 2
Comments: Same as with T1, had to be careful dismounting, came to a complete stop and swing my leg over to avoid hurting my arm. Still managed to twist it a little funny but nothing too painful. Had to sit down and had some trouble pulling my socks on due to my left arm being pretty useless in the endeavor. Run
Comments: Took it easy on the run. Left a lot in the tank. Walked twice for about 10 seconds (not including the aid stations), due my calf muscles tightening up and trying to stretch them out. I'm okay with not pushing harder though, today was not about putting in an all out effort on the run. Post race
Warm down: None What limited your ability to perform faster: Broken arm, extra weight, not enough training. Last updated: 2013-09-01 12:00 AM
