Pre-race routine:

Up at 5AM. Nutrigrain bar, diet coke and vitamin water for breakfast. Left hotel at 6AM for race. Broke my floor pump while airing tires in parking lot. Had to borrow pump from another athlete.
Swim
  • 15m 25s
  • 500 meters
  • 03m 05s / 100 meters
Comments:

Swim was a disaster. Pseudo open water swim and I was all over the place. On top of people, left side of canal, right side, missing 90 degree turn. Very tense and never relaxed. Was nauseous/dizzy when I got out, possibly from not being able to see in water?
Transition 1
  • 02m 48s
Comments:

Struggled getting socks on. Was nearly 1 minute slower than my goal.
Bike
  • 40m 56s
  • 12.43 miles
  • 18.22 mile/hr
Comments:

1st three miles difficult as I was dizzy from the swim. Wind was pretty brisk coming back to T2, hurting my average speed
Transition 2
  • 02m 5s
Comments:

Only issue was with another athlete, walking hand-in-hand with a young boy, blocking my progress through T2. Had to yell to get him to move.
Run
  • 28m 58s
  • 3.11 miles
  • 09m 19s  min/mile
Comments:

The run is usually my strongest area. Didn't push too hard and finished 1 min/mile behind goal pace.
Post race
Warm down:

Jumped into canal to cool off.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Heat

Event comments:

First Tri I completed. The 1st I attempted was cancelled before I finished because of athlete death. Last I will participate in this year. Lots of work to do over fall/winter. Will be back to this event next year.
