Had to run .10 of a mile behind the building to get to the transition area. Had a problem with my quick tie on my one sneaker. Had to just take it off and tie the shoelace in a knot. Slowed me down.
What would you do differently?:

Make sure my quick ties are ok.

Comments:

I felt pretty good on the run (since it is my weakest leg). A fellow racer who was having problems ran with me to keep her pace. It kept me from slowing down. At mile marker 3, took a hard sprint to the end for a strong finish.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing.
Post race
Warm down:

Stretched, drank some water, and ate a banana and Luna bar.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I should have trained more on the bike (especially hills).


Event comments:

This was a well run race. It was organized and everyone was very helpful.
