Overall Rank = 26/105
Age Group = 40-99
Age Group Rank = 1/12
Pre-race routine:

Quick bagel and peanut butter and 5 hour energy drink.
Event warmup:

I was staying at my sisters lake home so I was actually able to just ride my bike over to transition. It was a couple of miles so it was a nice warm up.
Swim
  • 17m 31s
  • 800 meters
  • 02m 11s / 100 meters
Comments:

I was in the last wave (5) and was able to catch a few people in the two waves before me. That never happens so I was pretty excited. Swim time included getting out of the water on a ladder, walking the pier and the timing mat was at the transition. Didn't want to slip on wet slick bricks so I walked that all.
What would you do differently?:

Get control of my breathing.
Transition 1
  • 01m 39s
Comments:

The timing chip was the biggest I'd ever seen. I could not get my wetsuit over it. Very frustrating but I conquered.
What would you do differently?:

Keep my timing chip insinde the leg.
Bike
  • 49m 40s
  • 15.5 miles
  • 18.72 mile/hr
Comments:

Felt so great to pass tons of people. I encouraged others along the way. Had a bunch of water on the bike and a gel.
What would you do differently?:

Spin my legs faster.
Transition 2
  • 01m 5s
Comments:

Don't have the quick laces so I actually had to tie my shoes. Ran with my visor instead of putting it on in transition.
What would you do differently?:

Get some quick laces.
Run
  • 28m 55s
  • 3.4 miles
  • 08m 30s  min/mile
Comments:

Feet were numb off the bike but I made them move. I knew the run was a bit longer than a 5k and went out with all I could muster. When I had about a mile left I picked up the pace some more.
What would you do differently?:

Run faster
Post race
Warm down:

Had a water and walked around. I saw the plaques for OA female and male winners so asked if I should stick around for division winner. They said yet. I waited for my name and it was never called. Some glitch in the system gave the Rudy Project sunglasses for 40-99 winner to another woman. All was worked out and I was giving the winner status.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Nothing. I'm very happy.

Event comments:

I couldn't give it a 5 because of the timing mix up but I will do it again if I am up there next year.
