Age Group Rank = 60/70
Pre-race routine:

Barely made it before the neighborhood was closed for the race. I think it may be a good idea to drive a day early to an event ;)
Event warmup:

Not enough time for a warmup
Swim
  • 20m 23s
  • 580 yards
  • 03m 31s / 100 yards
Comments:

I was relaxed during the swim and did the breastroke for a short time about halfway through.
What would you do differently?:

I just need more time to develop proper technique. I know my legs drag.
Transition 1
  • 01m 32s
Comments:

1st time in transition so I was a bit disoriented coming out of the water
What would you do differently?:

Put powder in my socks or perhaps bike without socks and put them on before the run.
Bike
  • 1h 04m 53s
  • 17 miles
  • 15.72 mile/hr
Comments:

I didn't expect the amount of hills that I encountered.

Spent 2-3 minutes trying to figure out why the bike was dragging. Suspected a flat, then chain. I think maybe it was a gear issue. About 20 people passed which was discouraging.
Transition 2
  • 01m 32s
Run
  • 31m 13s
  • 3 miles
  • 10m 25s  min/mile
Comments:

Nice easy pace. I usually run 8:45 pace or so for 3 miles.
What would you do differently?:

I still had a lot of energy at the end so perhaps I didnt push hard enough.
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

I have been training for a little more than 2 months for triathlons. My swimming technique is really bad, not wanting to run out of energy perhaps cause some time issues. I will take all of these experiences and return next year even stronger. ;)

Event comments:

Loved the event!! I will definetly race in 2011.
