Pre-race routine:

PB bagel and bananna for b-fast
took sports beans 1/2 hour prior, drank bottle sports drink enroute
lots of traffic @ race entry - barely enough time to get bike set and to starting line
Event warmup:

Stretched for a couple minutes but didn't get as much stretching as I wanted, and no time for warm ups

Comments:

Loved the overall time but feel like I pushed too hard on first run, felt pretty spent coming into T1, and walked bike out of T1.
What would you do differently?:

Concentrate on breathing/running rhythmn more, try to push without putting all my eggs into the first run basket.
Transition 1
  • 01m 53s
Comments:

Once on bike felt like I got into a good rhythmn quickly and forgot about the spent feelings on the first run

Comments:

Felt really good, a comfortable but faster run than last race. Made sure to get water in on the ride, to avoid trying to hydrate on run #2. Felt that worked out well.
Transition 2
  • 01m 38s
Run
  • 25m 20s
  • 3.11 miles
  • 08m 09s  min/mile
Comments:

much better feeling on this run. Really focused on even breathing/running pace. Enough energy for a push at the end, felt like legs had just enough energy to get there. Was disappointed that my run #2 time was slower than Run #2 time last race, but feel that I pulled out okay after burning up on first run.
What would you do differently?:

Push pace a bit harder and try to make both runs more even paced.
Post race
Warm down:

Water, stretching

Event comments:

Got awarded 3rd place in age division, which was a great feeling (even though there were only 4 of us including the overall race winner!) Also got ranked in overall Master Male category, which was a surprise. Broke the top 20% overall. Beat my goal of 1:30 overall time! Loved the event, will sure to be back next year.
