Pre-race routine:

First triathlon so no routine. Woke at 4:15am. 45 minute drive from DC. Yogurt and Banana on drive.
Event warmup:

Stretched and then jogged 5-7 minutes
Swim
  • 07m 20s
  • 400 yards
  • 01m 50s / 100 yards
Comments:

Held back a little since I did not know how hard to push without effecting bike and run too much. Did not kick strong in order to save my legs.
What would you do differently?:

Underestimated my time. Passed one person and got caught behind another. Flip turns next time. Felt winded. Need to warm up more to get my heart rate going.

Comments:

No sure how hard to push without hurting run.
What would you do differently?:

Practice shifting into and out of hills. Smoother at getting and eating gel.
Transition 2

Comments:

Took time to stretch a little. It cost a minute or so, but may have been paid back during the run by being less tight.
What would you do differently?:

Practice transitions.

Post race
Warm down:

Walking and stretching

What limited your ability to perform faster:

More training and newness to the sport.

Event comments:

Timing problem on swim.
Need better signage at last turn to finish ride. With two laps, I did not see signage and as other riders went straight to begin their 2nd lap, I almost followed them since I did not realize I was at the turnoff since it is a newer development and a lot of the roads looked alike.
