Pre-race routine:

Listened to Metallica & Santana while setting up. Need a more mellow, groove mix for pre-race stuff.
Event warmup:

10 minute run, 10 minute swim.
Swim
  • 10m 56s
  • 600 yards
  • 01m 49s / 100 yards
Comments:

First 100m my goggles filled with water and I had to fix them. The rest of the swim went well for the first swim with the wetsuit. Navigation was poor, but it's been a long time since I've done an open water swim. Pace was average for me.
What would you do differently?:

Make sure the goggles fit properly before the swim.
Transition 1
  • 02m 51s
Comments:

Put bike shoes on and then ran.
What would you do differently?:

Skip the socks. Put the bike shoes on the bike and then hop on the bike and put shoes on. Probably save me some time.
Bike
  • 35m 5s
  • 10 miles
  • 17.10 mile/hr
Comments:

Overall a decent bike ride. A little slower than normal, but there were a few decent climbs to take on.
What would you do differently?:

Watch the gearing on the turns... some of the turns led right into hills.
Transition 2
  • 02m 7s
Comments:

Best T2 ever!
What would you do differently?:

Speed up.
Run
  • 25m 13s
  • 3.11 miles
  • 08m 07s  min/mile
Comments:

Kept cool for the most part, was a little hot off the bike, but cooled down as I continued to run.
What would you do differently?:

Not much. Do more brick workouts during training. My legs felt somewhat heavy during the first mile of the run.
Post race
Warm down:

Some stretching, drinking the rest of my water & sports drink. Changed into dry clothes, tossed on the compression socks and drove home. Should stretch out more when I'm done.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Familiarity with the course, nerves.

Event comments:

It's a training race, so the amenities of a big race are not there. But it's a fun thing to do on a Thursday evening.

Course: The distance was definitely more than a 5K. I know I was running at least a 7:30 pace. But this is a training race, so I guess that's okay. Decent hills, a few a very steep... except for the really steep hills it's a good course. 1 loop.
