Pre-race routine:

Had a nice quiet weekend as DH took the kids up to the cabin on Friday night so I was down three kids and a dog all weekend. It was lovely. Went to bed early had a great sleep and got up at 530 had my 2 cups of coffee and PB bagel with bananas. Grabbed my gear and water and off I went.
Event warmup:

Not much of a warm up. Just a quick 100m and off I went
Swim
  • 08m
  • 547 yards
  • 01m 28s / 100 yards
Comments:

The lap counters miss counted and forgot to tell me last lap, so I swam 20 metres to much then got out and ran out of the pool. So I missed my sprint for the last 50 metres, This pisses me off because I had alot of gas left in the tank. They did adjust my time but who knows how much faster it would have been
What would you do differently?:

Not trust the lap counters even if they say too. Good thing I had a feeling they were off

Comments:

Not sure of transition time because they added it to the bike but I know it was fast. I really need to work on my bike mounts
What would you do differently?:

Practice my bike mount

Great ride. I hammered on this one. Worked hard from start to finish. I worked my gears and felt great. I actually passed people and only got passed a few times. I had a hard time drinking and taking my Gel because I was working so hard.

Good average run for me. It was hot on the way back and I need to drink better but I ran hard and passed people once again.

Post race
Warm down:

Stretched and gossiped with friends and team mates

What limited your ability to perform faster:

My own mind. On the run I think I am afraid to go faster because I am afraid of hurting. Must get over this
