Nothing much... bagel with PB for breakfast and sipped on a gatorade

Swim
  • 11m
  • 600 yards
  • 01m 50s / 100 yards
Comments:

Swim was good. Time trial start, so one at a time every 5 seconds. This made the course less crowded and much easier. I felt pretty good on the swim and didnt' have to stop for a break or anything. Less than 2 min/100 is good for me, so I was happy.
What would you do differently?:

Not much... Swim faster :)
Transition 1
  • 01m 45s
Comments:

Average transition... took a few seconds to get socks and bike shoes on. Still haven't tried to put shoes on while on bike.
What would you do differently?:

Go faster
Bike
  • 56m 55s
  • 17 miles
  • 17.92 mile/hr
Comments:

Bike was average. The course had several hills, which I am not used to, so it made it tough. I didn't feel the best, so I just rode at more of a tempo pace as opposed to a race pace. I could have pushed it harder on the flats but chose not to.
What would you do differently?:

Have fresher legs going into the race so I would feel better.
Transition 2
  • 01m 20s
Comments:

Average... yanks helped!
What would you do differently?:

Go faster
Run
  • 28m 8s
  • 3.1 miles
  • 09m 05s  min/mile
Comments:

I did the same on the run as I did on the bike... didn't push it. I knew it wasn't my day so I just ran at a comfortable pace.
What would you do differently?:

Feel better... somehow
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

I just didn't feel right today for some reason. I was sluggish and didn't have the energy to push the pace. I knew this early on the bike so I just finished out at a steady pace.

Event comments:

Good race, would recommend it to anyone. Would be a great first timers race with the time trial start on the swim.
