I put on my shoes during the transistion, so that took time. Had to tie my laces too, and made mistakes with that too.

Put my shoes on during the ride, have quick laces.

Comments:

I felt extremely slow on the bike.

What would you do differently?:

Get a road bike !!! I did the race with a mountain bike. Also, I didn't pay attention and only did one lap, the race consisted of 2 - 6 mile laps. So I DNQ.

Transition 2

03m 17s

Comments:

Transistion felt a lot quicker than T-1, but around the same time. A lot of people in the way, and rack area was crowded.

What would you do differently?:

Rack faster. Take helmet off while putting on run shoes. Take bike shoes off before entering T-2.

2 miles

Comments:

Was EXTREMELY tired by this time. Shin-splints were killing me, especially in my left leg.

What would you do differently?:

RUN FASTER ! Keep up the pace that I had planned, and NOT walk.

Post race

Warm down:

NONE

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Training, endurance.

Event comments:

Good race, PERFECT for my current non-conditioned body. Wish I would have trained more for it, it was an easy course.
