Derek Affonce FOXBOROUGH MA TOTAL TIME: 3:37:51 SWIM: 32:13 T1: 4:56 BIKE: 1:27:44 T2: 3:28 "RUN" 1:29:31
When I got off the bike my lower back spasmed, yes that was with 6.2 miles of running to go. I sucked it up and finished it, I was 17 minutes slower than my target. I will have to repeat another time to improve upon this. The run really wasn't a run it was more of a walk with an occasional jog.
Had two events on the bike that added a couple of minutes. 1) I hate a pretty good hole and my seat decided to rotate nose up. So I had to stop and relevel it via brute force de fist. next with 3 miles left 3 people flatted out 2 were changing their tires. the third wasn't. i asked if he was ok, he said yeah. i asked if he had a tube, he said no. i asked if he wanted one, he said yes. i stopped gave him a tube, asked if he had levers he didn't so i gave him my levers, co2, and patch kit to go with the tube and then headed on my way fingers crossed that i didn't flat in the last 3 miles (i still had a tube just no levers). the gentleman was nice enough to find my bike after the race and leave my small bag with co2 levers and patch kit.
