Comments:

Started out feeling great for about 20 miles then the headwind started to get to me. My longest ride had been just under 40 miles so I really felt it the last 15- 20 miles- I thought it would never end. At the end of the bike I thought there was no way I was going even attempt the run.
What would you do differently?:

Bike more- get a 50 or 60 in.

  • 03m 52s
Comments:

Felt bad but somehow kept moving and got out on the run in pretty decent time.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing
Run
  • 3h 31m 31s
  • 13.1 miles
  • 16m 09s  min/mile
Comments:

Did very little running leading up to the race and paid dearly for it. Walked the first half and ran/ walked the whole way back. Because of my lack of training the run was extremely tough both mentally and physically.
What would you do differently?:

Make a comittment to run alot more.
Post race
Warm down:

Layed on ground for about 5 min and collected myself.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of time to put in the hours required on the bike and especially the run.

Event comments:

This race was exactly what I needed to get going and get a early season test to evaluate where I m at. Race was ran well and I would definatly do it again.
