Pre-race routine:

Woke up 3.5 hrs before my start and ate some cereal and a protein drink.

Comments:

4th out of the novice wave
What would you do differently?:

Relax and concentrate on being longer and streamlined. With the little bit of waves on the water and my adrenaline going, my strokes became choppy.
Transition 1
  • 03m 35s
Comments:

Using a Giant TCR Advanced road bike
What would you do differently?:

Need to work on the order that I do things. I put on socks and shoes, then HR monitor and shirt, then helmet, glasses and gloves. There was a section of gravel that we had to run across, so I knew I wanted my shoes on. I can probably go without the socks and the shirt got stuck, so I might go without the shirt in warmer weather.

Mark my transition spot better, so I can find it quicker

increase cadence
Post race
Warm down:

walked and drank some water

What limited your ability to perform faster:

did not push too hard on the bike, so I would have enough left for the bike. Definiely can push harder on the bike. Need aero bars for the raod bike.

Event comments:

Start saving for a tri bike next year.
