Pre-race routine:

Stopped to get a cliff bar at a gas station and drove to the course. It was storming out as I drove in. Glad it cleared up as the race started

Event warmup:

Did a little bit of jogging, and bikeing

Swim

15m 59s
750 meters
02m 08s / 100 meters

Comments:

I got way off course! I was swimming with 4 others and we were all going the wrong way. I spotted the wrong bouy and was swimming towards that one. I would have noticed if I had been all alone but there were others with me. I think I ended up swimming 950 meters insted of 750. Very choppy water.

What would you do differently?:

Start far to the right since I tend to drift to the left when I swim.

Transition 1

02m 42s

Comments:

Had a slight problem getting my bike off the rack. The one next to mine had fallen over and was caught with mine.

Was a good t2. I don't think I could have gone that much faster

Well my best run of the year. Still dragged me down in the over all times.

What would you do differently?:

Post race

Warm down:

walked around a bit, got some water and some food.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Need to run faster

Event comments:

They had pizza for post race food. I didn't feel like eating it though. Overall a nice race. I ended up getting 3rd in my age division, and got a plaque. It was nice. My first award.
