The big problem was large just of wind (20-30 mph. The last mile was completly into a head wind that made it hard to stand up let alone run sometimes.

What would you do differently?:

No wind!

Transition 1

01m 25s

Comments:

My helmet flew off my handlebars so it took me a little longer in t1 than it shuld have. Once I got going, it was tough to get started going into a very strong headwind.

What would you do differently?:

Next time its this windy I'm going to bolt the helmet down.

I just need to get stronger so the wind is no longer a factor.

Transition 2

Comments:

I was pokey. The last mile of the bike was into a very strong head wind and it took my breath away. I took a little longer in T2 to catch it beffore going ut on the run.

The wind killed me here.

Post race

Warm down:

Put my warm clothes on and walked sround until the awards ceremony.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

The wind. Also my weight. I'd be much faster if I can drop back to me pre-surgery weight.

Event comments:

I'll be back for the Spring Wrentham Du to see if I can knock some serious time off.
