Pre-race routine:

Didn't get to bed until after 11:30pm. Got up at 4:45 am so I could test the bike I borrowed from Jenn since I hadn't gotten the change to ride it yet. Turns out we didn't notice it didn't have pedals until the night before. Ate toast, banana, chai tea, some water.
Event warmup:

Essentially nothing. Maybe a little light stretching.
Swim
  • 20m 52s
  • 880 yards
  • 02m 22s / 100 yards
Comments:

I managed to do freestyle almost the whole time and didn't freak out bumping up next to people, but my time still didn't improve. I have a lot of work to do on my swim before attempting an Oly.

What would you do differently?:

Learn to draft, wear a wetsuit, start out more aggressively.

Comments:

Loved how easy my shoes were to put on with my Yankz laces.
What would you do differently?:

Not much. Maybe run a little faster through transition.

Comments:

The route was pretty flat and beautiful. I rode a borrowed bike from my SIL which was a heavy comfort bike with fenders that loved to catch the wind. So I was surprised I was able to move it as fast as I did. By far my fastest ride yet. And I did pretty well passing people.

Garmin had 12.07 miles.

263/388
46/67

What would you do differently?:

Use my own bike. Use clipless pedals.
Transition 2
  • 01m 38s
Comments:

Quick transition. Ran throughout.
What would you do differently?:

Run faster.

Comments:

Guess I pushed it a little hard on the bike. I didn't feel like I had much left for the run. Slower than the last tri. But I'm still pleased with how this tri went.

36/67
What would you do differently?:

Don't push it on the bike quite so much. Get a lot more sleep the night before.
Post race
Warm down:

Drinking lots of fluids, and some stretching later.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Bike, not enough sleep.

Event comments:

Lunch was not so great, swim was a little confusing as to where to go. Otherwise, really great race.
