Pre-race routine:

Had a big dinner the night before and a cookies and creme pop tart the morning of the race.
Event warmup:

Ran a couple of miles and swam a bit for the warm up. I wound up cutting my heel, two toes and my hand on the oyster beds. Tried to stop the bleeding before the swim start, with no luck.

Comments:

Starting the swim thinking are their sharks out here in the bay? For some reason my time did not register. With transition and the swim I was at 11:10 when I got on the bike. Not my fastest swim, which was a theme for the weekend. No sharks though!
What would you do differently?:

Not get cut. If you do this race make sure you swim off the dock, not on the side, during warm-up. Swim faster.
Transition 1

Comments:

Wetsuit strip was a bit slow, but overall not bad.

Comments:

The blood on my aero bars and water bottles was a bit disconcerting, but it made me feel like I was really racing hard. It helped with the whole toughness factor.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing.
Transition 2
  • 00m 51s
Comments:

Ran past rack space, but overall it went smooth.
Run
  • 20m 48s
  • 3 miles
  • 06m 56s  min/mile
Comments:

A bit slower than I would have liked, but not terrible.
What would you do differently?:

Relax a bit more. I think I would have gone faster.
Post race
Warm down:

Hit the medical tent to deal with the cuts. They did a great job. They put crazy glue stuff on my heel and hand, which worked great. Everything is healing nicely.
