Pre-race routine:

Got to the race early, set up, got marked. Put out my stuff, got on wetsuit and headed to the lake for a little warm up. Parents called while I was setting up because they were lost.
Event warmup:

Did a brief swim to warm up. Was a great way to get my body ready for the day, esp. since I had been sick recently.

Comments:

Good swim. Was really fatigued because I had been sick for two weeks with very little swimming involved. Glad to get it done.
Transition 1
  • 03m 23s
Comments:

I didn't double check my cycling shoes before the race because I got distracted. When I got to T1, my right shoe's ratcheting was stuck. I had to sit down to eventually force it open and get my shoe on. Next time, will double check.
What would you do differently?:

Check my gear despite circumstances.

Was a good bike- still fatigued from the lack of training in the weeks leading up due to cold/cough.

Ride faster :)

Comments:

Bad, bad run. I rolled my ankle really hard on a rock on the first uphill. Not happy. Then my breathing was out of control because of hills and again, being sick for two weeks.
What would you do differently?:

Train, not be sick. Also not roll my ankle.
Post race
Warm down:

Stretched. Iced ankle.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Ankle issue. Being sick for two weeks prior to race.

Event comments:

I got 2nd in my AG overall!! With this performance, I was understandably shocked. I guess it's really all about who shows up that day. Will hopefully do better in the future as next year, I will be at a wedding.
