Pre-race routine:

Woke up at 4:15. Had a Banana. Had a power bar and some gatorade on the way. Took care of business at the rest stop on I95. Arrived at 5:15 a.m. Check in and set up transition area. I was on the last rack closest to the exit of transition so I took advantage of the extra room in setting up transition. Nice!
Event warmup:

Light stretching.
Swim
  • 20m 41s
  • 880 yards
  • 02m 21s / 100 yards
Comments:

I think the course was long. I swam the majority freestyle rather than breast stroke like last year and I ended up swimming 1:30 slower than last year. Need to work on navigation as I found myself off kilter near the last bouy.
What would you do differently?:

More practice swimming.
Transition 1
  • 02m 12s
Comments:

Better first transition. I took a minute off of last year. Wetsuit was stuck on my heels so I sat down which I had plenty of room to do because of where I set up transition. Need to work on that better.
What would you do differently?:

Work on getting the wetsuit off faster.
Bike
  • 37m 59s
  • 12.5 miles
  • 19.75 mile/hr
Comments:

Excellent bike. Averaged almost 20 m.p.h. Big improvement over last year. I would not do much different.
What would you do differently?:

Very little. Work on mount and dismount.
Transition 2
  • 00m 54s
Comments:

Here again I lowered my time by 30 seconds or more.
What would you do differently?:

Very little. Work on dismounting the bike.
Run

  • 08m 04s  min/mile
Comments:

Good run. Actually ran faster than I thought I was running. Average 8:05.2 per mile.
What would you do differently?:

Increase pace.
Post race
Warm down:

Walk, stretch. Banana, water and Recoverite.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Swim, Swim, Swim!

Event comments:
