 Run
Comments: I ran my fastest 5K effort this season...how stupid of me. I felt great after the 5K and was super excited to try my new TT bike. What would you do differently?: Speed work so that this is my 80% effort. I'm in a new age group this year, and although this is a good time for me, I was very much the small fry.  Transition 1
Comments: I wasn't extremely quick, but I was cold and I didn't want to practice jumping into my bike on its first ride. I put my shoes on and away I went. What would you do differently?: Leave the shoes in the pedals, but on a much warmer day.  Bike
Comments: This was my first time on my new Transition Pro...so I was very excited to get going, but needed quite a few adjustments. I was lucky this was only a 20 mile ride. For the most part the climbs were slow but steady and the straight-aways I was passing people which made my happy (I would have looked like a tool in my aero helmet otherwise). I lost my bottles twice however and ultimately left them the second time... What would you do differently?: Secure bottles, work on gearing, get fitted Transition 2
Comments: I felt good getting off the bike and unclipped/ran with ease. A little slow, but with warmer weather I'll be out in a flash What would you do differently?: Warmer weather - shoes off on bike and slip on running shoes. Run
Comments: I was a bit clompy coming out of transition, but I found my stride fairly quickly. I had a more modest pace and mentally had to push myself more so than the first time around. I was still pretty happy with my time and did better than last year. What would you do differently?: Brick workout x 1million Post race
Warm down: Hung out with the family and grabbed some post race food. Grabbed my bike and prepped to bike home. I wasn't super sore, but was a bit tired. I knew I had to rest up for the Half Marathon part of the challenge the next day so I made my way home ASAP. What limited your ability to perform faster: Sore from injury, I need to fit better to my TT bike Event comments: A very fun race and I look forward to the 2 part challenge every year!

I only live a couple of miles away, so my girlfriend and I biked to the event after getting plenty of water and very light breakfast. I also had to check I had everything about 50 times...
I had about 15 minutes from time of arrival to get everything into transition. Afterwards, I walked around in the sun, and made last second wardrobe changes. It was cold but the sun was way too hot.
