Du the Polar Bear - DuathlonStandard

Felt good on the run, but spent too much time getting around the pack in the beginning. Needed to stretch out my legs more to increase tempo.

Need to move a little closer to the front, so I don't have to zig-zg to find a lane for the first 3/4 mile.

I was fortunate that I was able to maneuver away from a wreck in the first 25 feet. Need to get quicker with getting on shoes.

Wear my sunglasses, even if on my head, during the run. Could have got them set and taken off the hat before even entering T1.

Although my speed was up from my last race at this same course, I don't feel I cant sustain a high rate for a long time. I dropped my chain in the first 1/2 mile, but popped it back on and kept going. Definitely wanting to try aero bars,drops just don't compare.

Just had the bike in the shop, but chain is still slipping in certain gears. Never felt comfortable going into the big ring after dropping the chain early on.

Moved in pretty quickly, but my hands finally felt the cold once I was no longer on the bike and I had a hard time with my helmet. Need to practice getting out of my shoes before I come off the bike.

Put the race belt on from the start.

Although my legs felt heavy, I was able to keep the turnover going. Had been having issue with my left knee "locking up", but it didn't happen today.

Nothing, really enjoyed the second run, I wasn't expecting to go sub 7:00/mi, but was able to on both first and second runs.

Need to build power on the bike. If a tri-bike is not on my radar for a few years, I need to use my current bike to my advantage.


Great race, good course (minus the one section on the bike) and Out-Loud does a great job. Looking forward to next year.
