Comments:

Mile 1 seemed short to me... mile 2 even shorter!
What would you do differently?:

Nothing. Pretty solid pace for hilly trail run in a B or C race...
Transition 1
  • 01m 33s
Comments:

Having trouble clipping into/out of pedals. Check cleat and pedals and lube as necessary...
What would you do differently?:

Not much, really. Not too bad of a transition...

  • 20.96 mile/hr
Comments:

Poor man's disk was out of true. Not enough to rub the brake pads so I went with it! Brought it into Turin on Sunday and found out that basically half the wheel didn't have correct spoke tension! Probably dangerous riding it that way.
What would you do differently?:

Um... Bring my bike in for maintenance before my first race of the season. Or maybe at least ride it once!
Transition 2
  • 01m 7s
Comments:

Banged rear tire into another bike while racking... A little wobbly getting running shoes on...
What would you do differently?:

Nothing. Solid transition...
Run
  • 16m 16s
  • 2 miles
  • 08m 08s  min/mile
Comments:

Stronge second run indicates I didn't bike too hard, didn't run the first segment too hard either. Also indicator of good hydration and nutrition... Took about 1 mile before I felt my HR was back under control and I felt good running again. More bricks in my future?
What would you do differently?:

Nothing...
Post race
Warm down:

Walked about 1/4 mile to end of woods to bring Tami home...

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Spongy poor man's disk!

Event comments:

Very small race. Can't complain too much - an excellent early season race...
