Run
Comments: Probably paced myself a little too much, could have gone harder What would you do differently?: Push just a little harder. Transition 1
Comments: Bike rack had fallen over when I got to my bike. Had to stand up the rack and untangle my bike before I could get going. What would you do differently?: The problem here is that their bike racks are too short for mountain bikes so its difficult to get the bikes to stand up correctly which results in the bikes falling and taking the racks with them. I guess next year I'll try to dig a hole under my wheel to make sure it's off the ground. Bike
Comments: Could have pushed much harder. This is my best portion of the event but knowing that the run was looming in the distance kept me from pushing as hard as I could. Also the deep sand in some high speed sections made me uncomfortable and led to me slowing down. What would you do differently?: Be confident in my training and push harder Transition 2
Comments: Went well, got out fast. What would you do differently?: Nothing Run
Comments: Had to walk a lot because of the steepness of the terrain and how loose the soil was. Towards the end I started cramping in my quads. What would you do differently?: More electrolytes to avoid cramping and train for hills more. Post race
Warm down: Walked around, drank water and gatorade. What limited your ability to perform faster: Inability to push harder on the bike and then cramps during the run Event comments: No photographer present which was a bummer and in order to get to the start you have to ride up part of the course which is a long sandy climb, if you forget anything you'll probably miss the start by the time you get back up. A shuttle of some sort would be very useful for this event. Last updated: 2014-11-03 12:00 AM
