Pre-race routine:

Woke at 5am after a terrible nights sleep. Had a bagel with peanut butter on it and some water. Got a coffee on the way.
Event warmup:

1/4 mile jog with J
Swim
  • 08m 8s
  • 440 yards
  • 01m 49s / 100 yards
Comments:

The swim felt longer than 440 yards. By comparing times with the previous year, it looks like it was about 50 to 80 yards longer. I noticed other swimmers a lot more this year. I also got kicked in the nose, which was not fun.
What would you do differently?:

Alternate breathing better. Sight better.
Transition 1
  • 01m 3s
Comments:

Happy with this transition.
Bike
  • 29m 34s
  • 10.35 miles
  • 21.00 mile/hr
Comments:

I tried to get after the bike. I think I may have pushed to hard, but I was really happy with my bike time.
What would you do differently?:

Train harder on the bike. Also incorporate more bricks in the workout.
Transition 2
  • 01m 41s
Comments:

I missed my rack so I had to turn around, so I wasted some time. Also had some trouble getting the socks on.
What would you do differently?:

I would get running shoes that I can wear without socks.
Run
  • 24m 16s
  • 3.22 miles
  • 07m 32s  min/mile
Comments:

Terrible run. I was looking to break 7 min pace and failed. I think part of the reason was that I pushed the bike to hard.
What would you do differently?:

I need to work harder to get my legs conditioned for the bike to run transition. After pushing the bike hard, I had nothing left. I also need to work on my running form.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around. Had some gatorade.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Pushing the bike a little to hard really hurt my run. I need to work on finding the balance between the bike and run so I can maximize my potential in each.

Event comments:

I enjoyed this race. Very family friendly. I was especially lucky as my family was able to be there to cheer me on. It was fun to have J there competing and nearly winning. Next year I WILL break 1 hour.
