Lake George, New York
United States
74F / 23C
Precipitation

Total Time = 2h 21m 2s
Overall Rank = 37/400
Age Group = 35-39
Age Group Rank = 3/

Pre-race routine:

awoke at 5:00AM. I felt good as soon as I woke up, no tired feeling
at bowl of oatmeal as usual, coffee, bar at 7:00, gu at 8:10

Event warmup:

a few quick efforts in the lake about 5-7'

Swim

22m 35s
1640 yards
01m 23s / 100 yards

Comments:

i kept a steady, strong effort throughout. being a shorter distance, i never really let and kept moving from group. i was well up into the first wave of swimmers. course was a little tough to navigate since they didn't have consistent corner buoys

Transition 1

02m 16s

Comments:

no major issues here. i had my bike stuff in a bag to keep it relatively dry so this added a little bit of time to my transition. also, there a bit of a jog to the transition area after the swim. overall, though, no major problems

Bike

1h 10m 27s
24.85 miles
21.16 mile/hr

Comments:

with the conditions being wet and potentially cool, i wore a vest on the bike. I may not have needed it, but it made me feel more comfortable

Transition 2

01m 8s

Comments:

again, having my gear in a bag keeping them dry made my transition a little slower.

Run

44m 36s
6.21 miles
07m 11s min/mile

Comments:

i probably didn't need the vest on the run since it started to get quite humid once it stopped raining, but I didn't want to take the time to remove it so I just unzipped it. i felt really smooth and comfortable on the run. i never felt tired or like i couldn't keep up the pace. i ran at the exact pace i have trained for.

Post race

Warm down:

walking around. a little stretching. i do little massage with the stick tonight

Course:	i really liked this course much better than the first course used here in 2006. a couple of longer climbs, but no real significant climbs. at one point the winds were coming from the side and i felt the back of the bike get pushed over under me. i made sure to keep the pressure after that so i wouldn't happen again
