Pre-race routine:

After they kicked the long course runners out of the starting area(they started the short course runners ahead of the long course) I wished wifey luck and let her run her race(she did awesome for her first race!)Talked to a lot of people, there were a lot of CMC'ers in this race, spent a lot of time talking to Tom(thozf)

Run

Mile 1 6:47
Mile 2 6:17
Last Half 4:47ish
Last half mile was uphill(about 50 vertical feet in .16 mile), and I think I paid the price for running WAY too hard on the first 2 miles.

What would you do differently?:

Obviously not go out as hard as I did, where in the heck did that 6:17 come from?

Transition 1

Bike

50m 8s
15.2 miles
18.19 mile/hr

Comments:

I didn't spin the hills, I attacked them, out of the saddle pounding pedals, and I'm paying the price for it post race..ouch

What would you do differently?:

Nothing really, I just can't spin a hill, it's something I'll have to do when I start longer races, but man I love pounding up hills. I'm going to class this as a good bike, but I want to get faster, and no Bear the answer is NOT a red bike.

Transition 2

00m 45s

Comments:

I never thought I'd get my bike stopped before the dismount line, I locked the breaks and left a 20 ft skid mark, felt like I was a kid again

Run

20m 6s
2.5 miles

What would you do differently?:

Train on more hills
