Pre-race routine:

Woke up late, eat a scrambled eggs, packed my bag with my gear, put in the car along with my Mom's stuff and our bikes and off we went.
Event warmup:

I just sat down and stretched my arms and talked to other people.

Comments:

I felt kind of nervous. Looking ahead I could see the deep section of the pool and I saw the guy in front of me and saw the difference between him and the deepth of the pool it weirded me out. The pool got to 9 feet. I got in the pool and off I went. I passed a bunch of people and only one person passed me.
What would you do differently?:

Try turning around faster at ends. I hope to join the swim team next Fall.
Transition 1
  • 00m
Comments:

I did my transtion pretty fast and better than I have in the past. They do not time transtions so my T1 is in my bike time.
What would you do differently?:

Try keep balance better when putting on my bike shoes.
Bike

  • 8.8 miles
  • 15.04 mile/hr
Comments:

I passed two or three people, but one passed me back and I passed him for good on the run. I think I went pretty fast for me. I had fun and felt good riding.
What would you do differently?:

Drink something on the bike...need to practice drinking while riding.
Transition 2
  • 00m
Comments:

T2 time in run. I slipped on my running shoes and didn't put on my socks because I thought it would slow me down. My legs felt good of the bike.
What would you do differently?:

Put on socks.
Run
  • 32m 14s
  • 3.35 miles
  • 09m 37s  min/mile
Comments:

It was pretty good. I got some comments from older people like ...wow you are only 11 that is impressive! It made me feel good. I thought my pacing was to slow, but I worried I'd run out energy. I didn't know where I was or how much longer I had to go. Saw my parents and sprinted to the finish.
What would you do differently?:

Start sprinting sooner so I can beat my Mom. I'd wear socks on the run as I have 5 blisters on my feet.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around and had some water.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I hadn't do this distance before all together. I didn't know how I'd feel and how fast I could go. I think I can probably go faster next time.

Event comments:

I'm happy with how I did. It was fun to place second in my AG and next time I hope get faster. I found out my Mom beat me by only 4 seconds...how weird is that. I was happy because I thought I'd lose to her by 1-2 minutes.
