Age Group Rank = 15/21
Pre-race routine:

Set up at 5:15am, went to registration to get my chip (since I got there at closing time the night before and they couldn't give me that part). Then talked for a bit with people and got body marked. Nothing exciting.
Event warmup:

A short run to the water - not quite enough.
Swim
  • 27m 30s
  • 1500 meters
  • 01m 50s / 100 meters
Comments:

Have to focus a lot on relaxing and getting into a groove. Feels like by time I do this, the swim portion is over.
What would you do differently?:

Work on sighting a bit - Garmin came out reporting 1.11 miles
Transition 1
  • 01m 47s
What would you do differently?:

Didn't have rubber bands to attach my shoes to the bike, but overall this was still decent transition.
Bike
  • 1h 30m 8s
  • 24.85 miles
  • 16.48 mile/hr
Comments:

Need to focus on the bike and hills a bit. Stopped to see if I had a flat because the hill was harder than I thought it should be.
Transition 2
  • 01m 21s
Run
  • 54m 33s
  • 6.21 miles
  • 08m 50s  min/mile
Comments:

Felt hard that it should have been (but I was good with that), walked through water stations. Felt rough and like I was at 11:00/mile, so I was surprised about the sub 9:00/mile.
What would you do differently?:

Not much I could do different other than tike the bike easier, but with the hills I'm not sure I could have.
Post race
Warm down:

Stretching

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Probably that I was still recovering from a marathon 3 weeks prior and a hilly mud run the day before this. Two races same weekend limited some of the speed available.

Event comments:

Excellent post race party!

This plan is an advanced plan in terms of volume and intensity and appropriate for someone who is looking to go under 5:00 and as fast as 4:30. There isn’t a lot of fluff in the plan.
