Ran with Jim most of the way went out a little too fast. would have rather negative split the first run though it was downhill going out and uphill coming back

start out a little slower and keep heart rate in check
do some speed work

everything went as expected kept bike shoes in plastic bag in case it rained

learn the whole jump on bike with shoes attached thing like the cool kids

Hills and headwind going out. Thought about getting off and walking a couple of times but didn't. Did pass about 4-5 people. Glad I put a 12-27 on the bike

Train on hills get more comfortable in aero position
use a sport drink instead of water in my aerobottle
more run/bike bricks

helmet off, rain jacket off, shoes off hat and shoes on and off I went.

nothing everything went smooth

legs felt pretty good running off the bike. this was the first race with the tri bike and it does make a difference. tailwind going out

more bricks

my weight, not enough hill training, the weather


Very informal race only about 3-4 people running it transition was set up about 40 minutes before start time might do this race again if weather is better
