Pre-race routine:

Got up early and drove to the race site about 30-40k away at Lakeside resort.
Had raisin bran and 2-3 bananas for breaky.
Event warmup:

It was still cold out from the overnight chill. So i went for a short bike ride with the wind then a longer run then normal with some stretching then met a couple BT'ers beleive it or not and got my transition area ready and wetsuit on for a nice swim warm-up, shoulda warmed up a little longer then i did.

Comments:

I loved this bike ride... since i didn't go hard enough on the swim, i felt awesome for this ride. The turnaround came really quickly, and i knew i wasnt going hard enough, so i picked it up at the halfway mark. proll 33km/h first 10k and 38-40km/h the final 10k
What would you do differently?:

Go harder in the first 10k
Transition 2
  • 00m 35s

Comments:

My breathing was spiked the entire time and limited my ability to run harder, my legs actually felt good. If i had trained this segment more i would have had a much better race.
What would you do differently?:

Run more throughout training, and work on proper breathing techniques
Post race
Warm down:

Almost puked at the finish line becuase the last 1000m i gave it my all, and my breathing rate couldn't handle that! aahah

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lungs and lack of run trainin and swim technique

Event comments:

Awesome venue... great atmosphere, organization, people, and volunteers. And to top it all off it was beautiful weather, and i got to go watch the Sunday race the next morning.
