Pre-race routine:

Got up at 3.45, and ate Greek yogurt. Drove to Brewerton with my mom. Bike was racked the night before.
Event warmup:

Got into the water @ 6.45. I should have followed Karen's advice and swam rather than just splash around.

Transition 1

Comments:

T1 time started as soon as I was out of the water. A nice touch to see a swim time without going into T1. Ate and drank in T1 so I wouldn't waste time on the bike.
What would you do differently?:

RUN faster!
Bike
  • 1h 02m 9s
  • 18.64 miles
  • 18.00 mile/hr
Comments:

Flat and smooth. One bridge and and an out and back railroad track. Lots of bike traffic so it was good practice for other races. Some women slowed down around corners and across the tracks so that was challenging for me, but overall a nice course with great support. The course into the finish was too narrow and very unsafe for the number of cyclists coming in.
What would you do differently?:

Ride faster.
Transition 2
  • 01m 32s
What would you do differently?:

Change up laces on Zoot shoes.
Run
  • 26m 26s
  • 3.11 miles
  • 08m 30s  min/mile
Comments:

Cramped a mile and a half into the run. Ave pace was 8.32. Felt good to get across the finish line. I was surprised at the pace considering how I felt while running.
