Pre-race routine:

Loaded up the bikes and the rest of the gear. Always a little worrisome the first multisport race of the season. Wonder what I forgot! Which usually means I bring way more than I need.

Picked up Dud and off to the races!
Event warmup:

Ran around the parking lot after setting up transition.

Saw Jackie (jackjack)with some of the athletes she is training. It has been a while so it was good to see her, although briefly!

Comments:

Took off from the start down the damp grass towards the woods. Tried to keep it easy to avoid overdoing the first run.
Transition 1
  • 00m 50s
Comments:

Good transition for me. Those that have read my race reports will know what I mean!
What would you do differently?:

Get to the race earlier so that we are closer to bike in and out. But I am happy with the transitions today.
The good thing being nearer run in/out is that we had all kinds of room!

Good improvement over a couple of years ago on this course. Just tried to stay in aero and keep the cadence up on the climbs.

Comments:

Still happy

Good run off the bike for me.
What would you do differently?:

Not used to jumping over logs and roots on my runs.
Transition 3
  • 00m 53s
Comments:

Another good one!

Comments:

Same loop as the first one. Wondering what is up with Dud as he isn't back from first bike before I left on second. I figured he must have had mechanical problems.

I leap frogged with the same guy most of this loop. Should have pushed a little harder but wanted to make sure I could run,
Transition 4
  • 01m 2s
Comments:

Another good one!
What would you do differently?:

I know at these type of races I could probably do better, but usually my transitions are over 2 minutes so I just need to keep practicing!
Run
  • 17m 1s
  • 2 miles
  • 08m 31s  min/mile
Comments:

Came out of transition with 4 or 5 people just ahead of me including the guy I did most of the last ride with. Tried to target them to keep my pace up. Caught all but one and finished strong.

My previous time for this race was 2:05:xx so my goal of 1:50:00 was a lot but I knew I was better trained for this race. Getting close at 1:52:56 was ok by me. Still almost a 12 minute improvement.
Post race
Warm down:

Grabbed some water and found the rest room and hung around the bike entrance looking for Dud. Turns out he missed a turn on the first bike and added 7 additional miles. Yikes!

Yellow Jacket racing does a good job!
