Splashed around in the water for two minutes before the swim start- sooo, no warm-up.
Swim
  • 25m
  • 850 meters
  • 02m 56s / 100 meters
Comments:

Didn't get in the water beforehand, so of course I freaked a little and did a little sidestroke before I got in my groove. Oh well.
What would you do differently?:

Get in the water for a warm-up!
Transition 1
  • 03m 49s
Comments:

This was long! Wetsuit was stuck a little. Also, I still don't have a race belt, so getting my tri top on was nearly impossible.
What would you do differently?:

Get a race belt.
Bike
  • 32m 55s
  • 9.3 miles
  • 16.95 mile/hr
Comments:

Good bike- I passed a lot of people. That was fun. My weekly long ride is basically this course, so I was familiar with it and comfortable going up the massive hill.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing.
Transition 2
  • 02m 34s
Comments:

Don't really remember this transition.
Run
  • 26m 57s
  • 3.2 miles
  • 08m 25s  min/mile
Comments:

Didn't know the run was uphill for the first half- that was an unpleasant surprise! But luckily my shins didn't act up. Tendons right above my ankles seized up a little, so I stopped and stretched for about ten seconds. Nothing too bad. I think only one girl from my age group passed me. Being in the sun on the way back was a little tough, but it wasn't super hot.
What would you do differently?:

Not much. Maybe practice the course beforehand.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around, got some water, talked to Laura (elbi99), found my dad, drank some beer, got free stuff.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

The swim. Oh, the swim.

Event comments:

I think my performance is inversely related to how much I had been dreading the race the week before. I wasn't excited about this race beforehand. I'm not really looking forward to my Olympic in two weeks, so hopefully that means I'll do well!
