Pre-race routine:

So going with my Taylor actuals and best guess:
6:00 + 2:00 + 36:00 (20mph) + 1:00 + 24:45 (I would prefer 24) = 1:09:45
Event warmup:

stopwatch: 6:59.11 + 2:35.49 + 34:52.97 + 1:40.59 + 27:01.75 = 1:13:09

Swim
  • 06m 57s
  • 400 meters
  • 01m 44s / 100 meters
Comments:

I chickened out and changed my time to 99s per 100m. Well I passed 2 in the first length, and 3 in the second, after that I was log jammed
What would you do differently?:

Stick with my first instinct
Transition 1
  • 02m 26s
Comments:

Went pretty well, shirt hung up on shoulder blades perhaps add some body glide there
What would you do differently?:

Body glide on shoulders
Bike
  • 35m 5s
  • 11.28 miles
  • 19.29 mile/hr
Comments:

crushed the hills, sucked on the turns. Seemed like I was breathing to hard which hurt me on the long straight away

Very pleased with the speed
What would you do differently?:

Work on cornering, perhaps slow the last hill down to give me better heart rate on reston parkway
Transition 2
  • 01m 39s
Comments:

At the race I thought I rocked the transition, but the time is a bit high. I'm thinking it was mostly the distance between the mats.
Run
  • 27m 3s
  • 3.2 miles
  • 08m 27s  min/mile
Comments:

First mile sucked close to 10 minutes. Which really means I rocked the other 2. It was very humid
What would you do differently?:

I really just need more work, I should also add some bike/run bricks
Post race
Warm down:

water+can of pepsi + gatorade + chocolate muffin
Used pain stick, definetly helped. Mass, corpus christi, christening

What limited your ability to perform faster:

More run training, bad placement on swim due to changing time at last minute

Event comments:

Fairly well done for their 4th year
