Run
Comments: Tried to go a little slower on first run this time since last time I went out too fast and wasted time on the bike recovering. Pace was good this time, even tho I wanted to go faster I knew the slower pace would help me in the long run. What would you do differently?: nothing really, I was happy with my pace, If I would have gotten in more running before this event I think I would have been a little more confident (knee injured,couldn't run for over a month) Transition 1
Comments: good transition, went pretty smooth, could use more practice to make it a little faster and maybe get to event earlier for better spot on rack. What would you do differently?: practice transitions more, get better spot Bike
Comments: I did better then the last time at Guelph and improved my avg. speed by about 1.5km/h over a longer course. Still got passed more then I would like. What would you do differently?: although I did ALOT of training on the bike since Guelph 1 I still need more work on the bike, but definantley improving. Transition 2
Comments: not bad, not much room on rack to rack my bike What would you do differently?: speed it up a little Run
Comments: went out a little slower to get my legs used to the run and took some deep breaths to keep the side stiches away, passed people gradually, felt alright but wanted to keep a steady pace so I could finish strong. The course felt longer then 7k but running after biking 30k will do that I guess.Only got passed by 2 people I believe. the last 1km, picked up the pace and sprinted to the finish. What would you do differently?: not get injured a month beofre the race so I could practice more. Post race
Warm down: drink water and gatorade, some stretching,drink all the free protein and recovery drink samples and some more gatorade. stand under the cold shower (that felt good) What limited your ability to perform faster: my knee injury leading up to the race prevented me from doing as much running as I would have liked, I would have been more confident on the run portions if I had more training. I still need more training on the bike. Event comments: Awesome race as usual, GREAT volunteers! thank you very much volunteers with out you this race wouldn't exsist!
