Pre-race routine:

Got up very early, ate breakfast, and my wife and I drove the hour to Munore Falls.

None
Swim
  • 09m 24s
  • 400 yards
  • 02m 21s / 100 yards
Comments:

I sucked at the swim. I need to step up my swim training substantially. This is by far my weakest discipline.
What would you do differently?:

Train.
Transition 1
  • 02m 56s
Comments:

I wore my cycling jersey but I couldn't get it on quickly since it is so tight. I then struggled getting onto the bike and into my toe clips. My shorts got caught on my bike seat a little too. I'm still looking for ways to shave time off of my transition.
What would you do differently?:

Wear a looser shirt or no shirt at all. Practice with the toe clips. Don't get ass stuck on seat.
Bike
  • 40m 15s
  • 11 miles
  • 16.40 mile/hr
What would you do differently?:

I have been primarily doing bike commuting and not bike training. I need to get more into a training mode and on my road bike. Could have pushed harder as well.
Transition 2
  • 01m 17s
Comments:

Went smoothly but I am really looking for a sub 1 minute T2. If I can manage to figure out how to get out of my shoes while they are on my bike, then that will help.
What would you do differently?:

Learn how to get out of shoes while on bike.
Run
  • 26m 1s
  • 3.1 miles
  • 08m 23s  min/mile
Comments:

Felt really strong on the run.
What would you do differently?:

Not much.
Post race
Warm down:

None

What limited your ability to perform faster:

SWIMMING! I must improve my swimming performance. I felt that my bike performance could have been better. I felt a little shaky at the start of the bike. I chalk it up to the fact that I had not been on my road bike for a little bit. Also, some transition skills would have been useful.

Event comments:

I thought this was a good race overall. My performance could have improved but that will always be the case. I have one triathlon left this season and I will be gunning for some improvements in that one.
