Pre-race routine:

Swam a little in Wikiup Reservoir.
Swim
  • 30m 7s
  • 1500 meters
  • 02m 01s / 100 meters
Comments:

Swim went well.
What would you do differently?:

I need more swim training and more open water swims.
Transition 1
  • 02m 22s
Comments:

Transition was decent, but could use lots of improvement.
What would you do differently?:

An upgraded bike would be a huge help - no hydration pack w/ flat tools due to bottle cages and saddle bag.
Bike
  • 1h 25m 17s
  • 28 miles
  • 19.70 mile/hr
Comments:

Bike was rough with the poorly maintained roads, but I felt pretty good during.
What would you do differently?:

I would push harder during the bike rather than attempt to save energy for the run - in short, be more gutsy.
Transition 2
  • 00m 59s
Comments:

I found my spot and racked my bike just fine.
What would you do differently?:

Other than my desired gear upgrades this was a good transition.
Run
  • 48m 40s
  • 6.21 miles
  • 07m 50s  min/mile
Comments:

It was hot, but I feel like I could have pushed it harder on the run.
What would you do differently?:

Prepare mentally for the heat and exhaustion to persevere.
Post race
Warm down:

Jogged back along run-route to find Cheryl.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Outside of right knee and 2nd toe on my right foot hurt during most of the run.

Event comments:

Other than the unavoidable hot weather this triathlon is a lot of fun.
