People around me were pretty accurate with reported times. I passed the one just ahead of me and nobody passed me.

Nothing

Took my time especially to dry off some and get my shoes on (bike & run in same) but then put my shirt on backwards and it was a little damp and hard to get turned around. Knew I was going to take my time so it was all good.

Put my shirt on right the first time.

Heading out was great riding with the wind. Coming back was hard as winds were steady at 20-21 mph with occasional gusting. Pavement got a little wet as some light rains fell about halfway through.

I will be using the aerobars more. First time using them and even then not until I was halfway through the return trip. Actually got comfortable with them relatively quick and did notice my speed increase. So should see a mph increase next race.

Walked to rack. Took some water and an ibuprofin and headed out.

Take the ibuprofin while on the bike segment if needed.

First race following knee PT rehab from last year. Knee held up good but it took me about 2 miles before my legs came back to me from the bike.

After more training I should be able to get my running legs quicker and time will improve some. Still, not much more I can do with all my ligament tears.

Just walked around, stretched light. Some H2O and then some chips and a little bit of sandwich.


Knee issues mainly. Also not using aerobars.


Race was started early to beat the impending storms. Post race activity might have been better if the storms wouldn't have arrived. Overall a well organized event with course very well marked either with barricades, tape, and volunteers signaling the way. Will do this one again.
