Mooseman 2011

I think this is the 5th time i have done this race. I enjoy the trip down to New Hampshire and it is a good way to start the triathlon season. Last year it became part of the ironman 70.3 series and they made the bike course much more difficult. (probably added 15-20 minutes to everyones time) my times have ranged from 5 hours 3 minutes to 5 hours 36 minutes last year in the new course in extremely wet conditions. This year it was a nice day and i went alot harder on the bike. My bike time was 12 minutes faster than last year. I am a bit disappointed with my run time as it was slower than last year by about 2 and a half minutes. Overall, though, my time was 8 minutes faster than last year so i have to be happy with that. During the run today, my legs were very heavy and it never got any better. Usually that feeling goes away after you run for a bit. It can be partly due to going hard on the bike course. Also, I have been doing alot of short fast runs and haven't done a run like that after a really hard bike ride. I guess that is something to work on.
