Pre-race routine:

up at 5:30 AM.. ingested 2 nurtigrains and some gatorade. i was feeling pretty tired .. had some coffee
Event warmup:

we waited about an extra half hour due to thunder and lightning .. and a little rain.. it cleared up and the sun even came out...
Swim
  • 10m 19s
  • 527 yards
  • 01m 58s / 100 yards
Comments:

water was very shallow... despite the short distance ... I didn't swim very well at all.. at one ponit I stop and (midway) and touch the ground.. I waded a bit and breaststroked as well... I could have done much better..
What would you do differently?:

crawl the whole way.. begin crawling later since the water was so shallow.
Transition 1
  • 02m 50s
Comments:

I always seem to miss my spot... I kept looking and probably waster 15-20 seconds looking.. Despite that my T1 was pretty good compared to others... lots of room for improvement still.
What would you do differently?:

emboss my spot in my brain so its easier to find. HUSTLE ..
Bike
  • 38m 15s
  • 13 miles
  • 20.39 mile/hr
Comments:

my best leg with 20.4 mph.. i imagined it was higher.. felt higher.. oh well.

What would you do differently?:

hmmmm... magically hit 24 mph.. rofl.. how the heck do they do that? I placed 85th in the leg.. my best 1/3 of the race.. for sure.. the trek 5000 must be the reason.. lol.
Transition 2
  • 01m 31s
Comments:

i totally lost my spot on this one again... but with 1:31 Id say I did good. I know if could find my spot right away I could shave off 20 seconds no doubt. I put my shoes on standing up which seems to make it faster..
Run
  • 26m 41s
  • 3 miles
  • 08m 53s  min/mile
Comments:

my weakest 1/3 of the race... and did it show today... I completely slogged through the run... i completely feel aparat after the bike... 9 minute miles is just awful for me.. I did 7:30s last time! I seriously need to train bricks more and get my legs going .. im totally disappointed on the run this tmie.
What would you do differently?:

build a base for running so I dont boink on the runs!!
Post race
Warm down:

water water water... cookies and lots of them.. watched the other BTers come in...

What limited your ability to perform faster:

building my run base... the shallow water.. and my inability to find my bike in the t1-2 zone...

Event comments:

excellent race. short and sweet... I saw lots of BTers which is always fun. This was a training event for me.. so despite my critical evaluation.. i still had loads of fun doing it...
