Pre-race routine:

Coffee, turkey sausage, and fiber one cereal. It was cold and misting. Tough to get pumped.
Event warmup:

I ran from the car to the transition area.

Comments:

Felt good. My goal was a 7:30 pace and ended up going a bit faster. I haven't been running much lately, so I didn't want to be wasted for the rest of the race.
What would you do differently?:

Run faster.
Transition 1
  • 00m
Comments:

After I got my cycling shoes on decided I needed to ditch the pants. Wasted about 30 seconds on that.
What would you do differently?:

Should have thought ahead on the pants.

Couldn't go as fast as I had wanted. Definitely need to train more for the bike segment.
Transition 2
  • 00m
Comments:

Went well enough.
Run
  • 20m 19s
  • 2.5 miles
  • 08m 08s  min/mile
Comments:

Initially calves cramped up, followed by about a mile my legs feeling like jelly. I think I finished well.
Post race
Warm down:

Got water and a banana.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of training. I decreased my running and cycling training after my last tri, so I could increase my weight training. Next year I'm going to continue training up until this race, because I've got a solid chance of placing.

Event comments:

Aside from the crappy weather at the very beginning this was a good race.
