Pre-race routine:

Find a place to set up my stuff and marvel that I didn't forget any of it.

None, really.
Swim
  • 08m 44s
  • 366 meters
  • 02m 23s / 100 meters
Comments:

Overall pretty good. Adrenaline was pumping at go so my pace was off at start. Got my rhythym back after 2nd lap for a strong finish.
What would you do differently?:

Take it easier on first few laps and build to a faster finish.
Transition 1
  • 01m 31s
Comments:

I sat down to put my shoes on which was a mistake because it felt good to sit. I also forgot to put my computer on my bike before hand so I rode without it.
What would you do differently?:

Remember to set up computer and stand to put on shoes.
Bike
  • 48m 21s
  • 12.5 miles
  • 15.51 mile/hr
Comments:

The course must have been a little longer than 12.5 because everyone's pace was about a mph faster. I did the math and estimated that the course was closer to 13.15 miles. Official race results read my pace to be 16.4 mph.
What would you do differently?:

Take hills better.
Transition 2
  • 00m 59s
Comments:

Again I sat down to change shoes. I also forgot to take off my gloves so I had to stowe them in my gel pocket on the suit for the run.
What would you do differently?:

Stand to change shoes and remember to remove gloves.
Run
  • 24m 19s
  • 3.1 miles
  • 07m 50s  min/mile
Comments:

The run is were I had my best rankings and it's my least favorite to train for and race...go figure. Calves hurt more than theighs this go so that was different. I think the run must have been shorter than 3.1 because the times were off here as well. 8:07 min/m.
What would you do differently?:

Learn to enjoy the run more. It is the LAST leg of the race after all.
Post race
Warm down:

Walk it off, walk it off. Got nauscious just after crossing the finish, but was okay after some water.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Muscle fatigue more than endurance.

Event comments:

Really the only thing that irked me about this race was the packet pick-up situation. That's a long way to drive the day before the race if you don't live near Flower Mound. I almost didn't make it between 1-6 pm and I wouldn't have been able to race. I hope no one didn't get to race because of that.
