Pre-race routine:

worked all ight. Took a short nap and felt pretty good. New venue so there was a bit of confusion about transition areas. Potty break. Trying to stay in the shade
Event warmup:

Race was so short0my objective was to practice transitions. Did some jogging and swam 100 yrds for warm up.

Comments:

Good swim. Started in the back. Maintained composure-passed most people due to their sighting problems.
What would you do differently?:

Need to learn to 'race' the swim portion, but I'll take today's results.
Transition 1
  • 00m 55s
Comments:

struggled to get into shoes. No body glide used, so next time I'll try that. Also, shoes hadn't seen much use, so they resisted being open.
Bike
  • 17m 4s
  • 6 miles
  • 21.09 mile/hr
Comments:

Good solid bike-thought i went out too hard, but held on ok in the run
What would you do differently?:

Work on getting shoes on. Race Pics showed some fit issues I can address. Bike would be uncomfortable for Oly/70.3 distance.
Transition 2
  • 00m
Comments:

no other timing data available
Run
  • 00m
  • 2 miles
  •  min/mile
Comments:

Legs were dead-that was expected. Started to come alive at 1/2 way point. Nobody in front/behind me, so it was hard to motivate myself to push the tempo.
What would you do differently?:

I need more fitness, but that was to be expected.
Post race
Warm down:

cold water bath

Event comments:

Popular race in the Boise area and the new venue is better, but there is some work around the transition areas that could be done. The area is too narrow to allow good viewing.
