Pre-race routine:

Woke up at 0400 and had a smoothie, clif bar, and some coffee and water. Then loaded up at around 0500 and headed to the race but we were there for a while just waiting. Got a spot right at the end of the rack where I was so that was good.
Event warmup:

Swam 200 meters and felt like I felt good.
Swim
  • 06m 16s
  • 300 meters
  • 02m 05s / 100 meters
Comments:

OK so I seeded myself a little bit to low. I could have went a lot faster but I was stuck with the slower people. I felt like there was a lot left in me after this. Drafting and passing was hard because we only had half a lane to work in.
What would you do differently?:

Seed myself higher so I can get out in front faster!
Transition 1
  • 01m 59s
Comments:

Im not sure if I was super fast but the transition went really smooth, especially since I did not ever practice before.
What would you do differently?:

I guess I should practice it before hand.

OK I started off really good here. I was flying and I think I that could have finished this thing in about 35-45 min time frame. I don't really know because Ive never gone this fast. Hills were short and I was destroying everyone in front of me. However, at mile 5, my right pedal literally stripped from the bolt and would not stay in the hole. I spent a good 5-10 mins trying to get it to stay but it just wouldn't. So finally I just decided to go one legged lol. And I did and I finished it, albeit much slower than what I would've liked...
What would you do differently?:

Try to check the pedal or figure out a way to reattach it.
Transition 2
  • 00m 38s
Comments:

Did good here to as well since I didnt have any cycling shoes to take off.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing.
Run
  • 29m 50s
  • 3.5 miles
  • 08m 31s  min/mile
Comments:

It was a hot run... did good but I think I couldve done a lot better if my left leg wasnt so bummed from pedaling 8 miles just prior.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing... just try to use both legs for the bike!
Post race
Warm down:

Just kinda hung around... nothing special. I was tired.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Two things: seeding myself to low in the swim so I get caught up with all the other slower people and my bike breaking.

First race complete!
