Pre-race routine:

Got up at 5am. Had a quick breakfast, then drove for over an hour to the race site.
I went solo to the race as it was such an early start. It felt wierd to not be running around after the kids before the race. I had more time to get nervous.

Event warmup:

Got there kind of late, just racked my bike in the only remaining spot and listened to the RD's speech. I had a long wait for my swim, so I stretched by the pool.
I got to meet Tanya (standswithfist) at the race and she is so cool.

Comments:

The water was COLD. I didn't get in until right before they called my number. They started us 15 secs apart by age group. Unfortunately I was followed by the mens 30-34 age group, so I got passed a few times. The lanes were nice and wide though and I was able to keep a decent rythm.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing, this was one of my best swims.

I enjoyed the bike as soon as I warmed up, that wasn't until the 2nd lap. It felt like I was passed by the remainder of the men's 30-34 age group on the first couple of laps, but I also passed several riders.
What would you do differently?:

Wear a long sleeve shirt.

T2 included in bike time.
Run
  • 14m 34s

Comments:

My legs and breathing felt OK coming off the bike, felt a bit more tired on lap 2. I passed a lot of people on the run, but it is so different than running with fresh legs.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing. I enjoyed the run and felt like I gave it my all.
Post race
Warm down:

Just hung out, ate donuts and waited for the results. I was excited to get a medal.
After the race I met my family for lunch at Mimi's and ate way too much.

Thanks for the post! You had an awesome race. 8th overall and 2nd in age group, that's great! I would have to agree with the water being colder than expected. After waiting for 20 minutes to get in the pool, I figured the water would've felt warmer. It was a little bit of a shock. It looks like I placed 5th in my age group afterall. One of the guys placed second overall, which bumped me up.
