Pre-race routine:

things packed the night before, only through bike on rack and took off. Already wearing the swimsuit underneath. Arrived, picked up packet and put all the race numbers on at the car - next time I would do that at transition area.
Breakfast; half a toast with peanut butter and some scrambled eggs - about 4 hours before race begin
Event warmup:

no warm up, a little hopping up and down and stretching
Swim
  • 09m 10s
  • 300 yards
  • 03m 04s / 100 yards
Comments:

have to get better breathing and falling in my rhythm, may not let the anxiety mess with me
What would you do differently?:

give a more accurate time for the start to not have to start behind people slower than me, that end up blocking me
Transition 1
  • 02m 43s
Comments:

for it being the first time - I am ok with this
What would you do differently?:

wear a pair of trishorts, to save the time that it took me to get in the shorts. Also maybe not wearing gloves for the bike ride

  • 17.09 mile/hr
Comments:

Loved the bike ride, kept on passing people which surprised and motivated me a lot. Tried to keep in mind to leave enough energy for the run
What would you do differently?:

go harder
Transition 2
  • 01m 40s
Comments:

it felt like this transition went so smooth but it took me longer than I thought
What would you do differently?:

for next race considering body glide in shoes and yankz to safe time for tying shoes
Run
  • 22m 54s
  • 2 miles
  • 11m 27s  min/mile
Comments:

Oh well,my calf indeed felt like bricks for the first .7 miles, took the time to stretch really quick which helped but probably cost me a minute.
Could have run faster and harder, but tried to pull another girl with me - maybe I am not competitive enough - but it is all about the fun!
What would you do differently?:

try to go harder and kick myself in the butt with those bricks
Post race
Warm down:

eh skipped that

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Well it was my first race so I didn't know how tough it would be and how hard I could go, also I didn't know how to handle transition.

And I guess I didn't have the confidence that I could do well, so I limited myself by thinking I can't compete anyways

Event comments:

Well my ratings are not saying much as it was my first race - BUT I am glad I made this my first race!!!
