Ran the first mile at 7:50, so went out a little faster than we wanted, but we figured it out and slowed some. I wasnt too sure what to expect with a du, so I didnt want to kill myself off the bat.

Well, after taking out too quick on the run, we tried to settle in on the bike. Three of us were hanging together for hte race, so it made it a little easier. But then we turn the corner for the railroad tracks, and uhhhh, theres a train, and about 50 people stopped (bikers i should say). Yup, we were stopped by a train. Big bummer. Supposedly they were giving time credits, but I really dont know what they did. AND my bike split isnt showing in the results.. another bummer. But since three of us stuck together, I just used the girl i rode and ran with the whole times split for hte bike. Im happy with it..
What would you do differently?:

I need more power

Hmmmmm.. I really didnt think I did a 26 min 5k at the end. But it is hard for me to guage my speed after coming off the bike, so who knows.
What would you do differently?:

Still need more speed on the run. Its a common theme for me
