Pre-race routine:

Cold spaghetti for breakfast - sports beans about 1/2 hour before event. Watered down Grape G2 in the water bottles.

  • 12m 4s
  • 880 yards
  • 01m 22s / 100 yards
Comments:

It was hard to warm up in pond/lake before hand b/c there's no real beach. It was freezing cold (no wetsuit) so it took me a bit to adjust to the cold when I put my face in the water. Started in the back to the left. Once I got used to it, it was good. Passed a good amount of people. Didn't get passed by wave behind me!
What would you do differently?:

Wetsuit.
Transition 1
  • 03m 45s
Comments:

Jogged from lake to T1 - jogged out with bike.
What would you do differently?:

Not unroll sock after I had carefully rolled it before the race :+)
Bike
  • 1h 45m
  • 11.7 miles
  • 6.69 mile/hr
Comments:

Do hills for training but not enough apparently! Way more on the way back than I remembered. Totally thought about walking the last set before the downhill to transition but another athlete got me through (thanked her when I caught up to her on the downhill)
What would you do differently?:

Lose weight - tri bike rather than hybrid. Keep doing hills!
Transition 2
  • 01m 35s
Comments:

Already have my running shoes on so not too complicted.
Run
  • 25m 45s
  • 1.3 miles
  • 19m 49s  min/mile
Comments:

I hate running - walked most of it.
What would you do differently?:

Lose weight and run more.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked down hill to car

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Weight is the biggest impediment.

Event comments:

For a new race series this was good. Just enough volunteers. As someone else said, very cool medal. Couldn't stop smiling so it must have been good :+) I did Danskin Webster Lake and did not like the amount of people at all. Loved the size of this race!
