Pre-race routine:

Simple set-up. For this race I clipped my shoes into my clips before the race to see how it would work. I also planned on going sockless.
Event warmup:

After trans set-up I hppked up with pals Dave and Jack, and we ran a lap of the run, about 1 mile.
Swim

  • 500 yards
  • 01m 44s / 100 yards
Comments:

This was my best swim ever. I usually panic but this time I didn't. I was fourth of four at start and passed everyone in my lane!
What would you do differently?:

I could have been more aggressive early on, but I wanted to make sure i didn't panic as usual and when there was no sign of that I kicked in the jets.
Transition 1
  • 03m 10s
What would you do differently?:

It was my first time clipping my shoes in ahead of time. It will take some practice to get it down.
Also, my jersey got stuck while I was putting it on.
Bike
  • 38m 18s
  • 12 miles
  • 18.80 mile/hr
What would you do differently?:

I pushed it the majority of the ride but I wanted to save some for the run. I just need to keep training and working on a higher average speed.
Transition 2
  • 02m 3s
What would you do differently?:

I din't know, it went pretty well.
Run
  • 23m 49s
  • 3.1 miles
  • 07m 41s  min/mile
Comments:

I felt strong throughout the run and seemed to get stronger. It was great.
What would you do differently?:

I've found that speed work is crucial to faster times and plan on including it weekly from now on.
Post race
Warm down:

A few cups of Hammer HEED and some light stretching whioe waiting for others to finish.

Event comments:

I felt like I breezed through everything and was shocked when I saw my T times. I thought sure I did my fastest time ever but the fact that I swam well and didn't panic in the pool outshines everything.
