Total Time = 1h 30m 9s
Overall Rank = 417/537
Age Group = 40-44
Age Group Rank = 0/

Pre-race routine:

ate a good breakfast 5 hours prior to race - waffles and fruit. Didn't finish it all so it wouldn't sit like a rock in my stomache. Took vitamins, drank water, had GU just prior to swim

Event warmup:

stretching and short swim

Swim

00m
440 yards
/ 100 yards

Comments:

decent size waves for the start. Started on the right hand side of the group and ran down the beach and into the surf. Waded up to my waist, picked my wave and dove under and just began to swim. Ended up breathing every stroke instead of every 3rd stroke but it seemed to work for me. Came in before the main body of my group

What would you do differently?:

work on breathing

Transition 1

Bike

00m
10 miles
0.00 mile/hr

Comments:

Didn't get my time for this one. Felt slower than what I had done in training. Didn't drink enough

What would you do differently?:

Train more in inclement weather. More interval training

Transition 2

Run

38m 22s
3 miles
12m 47s min/mile

Comments:

left archilles really hurting by 3/4 mile. Favored that foot for next mile then right hip began to ache and on the last mile did a shiffle/waddle. Came in for a strong finish though

What would you do differently?:

Have a stonger base of running before running on beach and not get injured!!!!!

Post race

Warm down:

light stretching. recovery drink

What limited your ability to perform faster:

injury to bilateral archilles tendons.

Event comments:

My first tri so I really don't have anything to compare to. Race started late. Had fun though. WOuld definitely do this again next year.
