First run went very well. I finished at my goal pace of roughly 8 minute miles.

Drink a little more before the race.

Don't know any times for transitions. I went at a very relaxed pace.

Nothing.

The bike segment went well. I definitely need to work on my hill climbing ability but I tried to make up for it by going faster on downhills. This did cause me to almost get hit by a car. It was my fault. I took a corner too fast and went outside the cones and then this car and I did a little dance. No injuries but the lady did yell at me which, in retrospect, seems fair.

Don't almost get hit by a car. Deal with sweat. I had to take the hill I was going down before my near miss with the car with one eye closed since sweat was burning my eyes terribly. Need a headband that fits my huge head.

No probs.

Slower on this run. I had to stop towards the tops of a few hills to re-catch my breath. That may indicate that I biked too hard.

Drink more. Bike a little easier so that I save a little more for the second run.

Nothing


Train on more hills.


Really nice race for me. Today I got a medal! And not just a participation one. That is the first time I have ever gotten a medal for a performance in my adult life.
