Pre-race routine:

up at 3:15 a.m., in car by 3:45, driving to site of race....red bull, Gatorade, and a Clif Bar.

Swim

  • 531 meters
  • 01m 53s / 100 meters
Comments:

absolutely smoked this swim with zero training. Other than running into two jellyfish, this swim could not have gone better.
What would you do differently?:

trained more, but then there is that quality of life thing. :)
Transition 1
  • 02m 8s
Comments:

Set up my stuff perfectly...never had to worry about getting the right stuff on and I racked at the end of the rack closest to the fence, so I had all the room I wanted. The 5 seconds it cost me to run the length of the rack, I'll take for the lack of stress by being jammed by other racers.
What would you do differently?:

nothing
Bike

  • 20.11 mile/hr
Comments:

pushed the bike WAY too hard...should have saved some more energy for my legs on the run...I just get too excited on flat courses, because I don't ever see them while training.
What would you do differently?:

dial it down a notch
Transition 2
  • 02m 13s
Comments:

lollygagged a bit
What would you do differently?:

HTFU
Run
  • 41m 38s
  • 4 miles
  • 10m 25s  min/mile
Comments:

stupidly pressed too hard on the bike and cooked my legs. I ended up walking before mile 1 and then progressively got better, as time wore on, and my legs loosened up. I FINALLY felt like running the last mile in. I was hoping for a 9:00 pace, but it was not to be today.
What would you do differently?:

pace the bike better
Post race
Warm down:

got a towel, medal, and looked around for friends hanging out....could not find Kristin and I had daddy duties to attend to. :) sorry!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

training has suffered a bit this summer

Event comments:

great local race...I will definitely be back!
