Age Group Rank = 4/5
Pre-race routine:

Was up at 4:15am, ate regular pre-race meal,waffles and a banana at the race.
Event warmup:

Light stretching and a quick swim.
Swim
  • 07m 55s
  • 400 meters
  • 01m 59s / 100 meters
Comments:

The swim to the buoy was really short so there were a lot more people bunched up at the buoy. It was hard to get around the buoy because everybody was bunched up and I was getting kicked and pushed under. Once I got around the buoy it was better. It thinned out about half way to the next buoy.
What would you do differently?:

Next time the buoys are that close to the shore I am going to go out wider around the buoy so I won't get caught up in all the other people.
Transition 1
  • 01m 35s
Comments:

I had a little bit of a hard time getting my bike shoes on because my feet were so sandy.
What would you do differently?:

Wipe my feet off on my towel
Bike
  • 34m 40s
  • 10 miles
  • 17.31 mile/hr
Comments:

My bike computer wasn't working. I found out later that my Dad put my wheel on backwards. I felt really good on the bike, It felt a lot shorter than 10 miles. The course wasn't closed but there were policemen at the intersections. I rode in the aerobars more than I usually do.
What would you do differently?:

I had a good bike leg, but I need to work on getting in my aerobars a little more. I'm still a little afraid to ride in the aerobars when there are a lot of people around me.
Transition 2
  • 01m 3s
Comments:

I had a really good transition. I felt fine and ready to run.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing, I had a fast transition.
Run
  • 24m 17s
  • 2.6 miles
  • 09m 20s  min/mile
Comments:

The run wasn't too bad. I started to feel really tired as I approached the turnaround, so I had to walk some. My knees felt pretty good, but they hurt a little bit after I was done(on a scale of 1-10, about a 5).
What would you do differently?:

Unzipped my trisuit a little so I wouldn't be so hot. Drink a little bit more water, but if I drink too much I get cramps.
Post race
Warm down:

Met Bethany at the finish. We waited for Emily to finish. Hung around for a few minutes, took some pictures and then went to get some food.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Congestion on the swim, not using my aerobars more on the bike and walking on the run.

Event comments:

The water on the run course was very warm. They messed up the results, so I left thinking I was 2nd in my age group. When I came back at 5:00pm I found out I was fourth. This was a really good race for me overall. I did this race last year and it was my best overall finish of last season for a sprint distance triathlon. This year, I went 13 minutes faster than I did last year, 1 minute on the swim, 9 minutes on the bike and 2 minutes on the run. I was really happy with my race.

That is a huge improvement over last year. You should be very proud of yourself. Good job keeping your head on the swim, too.

BTW, I'm 31, and I'm a little afraid of using the aerobars when other people are around too
