Pre-race routine:

Showed up to the race at 6AM, setup up my transition area. Had alot more room at this Tri for my stuff than my previous tri I did in July. Ate a cliff bar at 6:30. My wave did not start till 8:10.
Event warmup:

Mostly streching
Swim

  • 01m 45s / 100 yards
Comments:

Felt really strong on the swim. I finished mid pack in 2 waves ahead of my starting wave. (I was wave 11, finihsed in wave 8).
What would you do differently?:

Preety textbook swim. Not much to do diffrentley
Transition 1
  • 02m 37s
Comments:

There was a long distance between the exit of the swim and the Transition area (about 200 meters). But once I got to my transition area everything went smoothly. My wetsuit did not bind up by the zipper like in practice, and my previous Tri. Hydrated.
What would you do differently?:

Start practicing getting on the bike better and up to speed.

What would you do differently?:

Get up to speed quicker from the transition. And push myself on the downhills more, I still feel uncomfortable at high speeds.

Comments:

Fairly smooth transition. No complications. Hydrated before the run.

Comments:

Better tri run than last time! I think I am a hill person. Was passing alot of people on the way up. I kept pushing myself up hill like my wife the ex-cross country runner said. I need to learn to go down hill though, and coast better.
What would you do differently?:

Learn to go down hill better.
Post race
Warm down:

Lots of hydration, by the end of the tri the temperature increased to about 87-90degrees. Streching as well.

Event comments:

The race was nice, though they got allot of angry voulenteers who were really yelling at some of the participants. Not realizing that WE PAID MONEY to participate in this event.
