Pre-race routine:

Registration and bike turn-in the day before. Walked to the race site, set up Transition, turned in clothes bag, and walked 1500m to swim start point.
Event warmup:

easy jogs, high-knee jogs
Swim
  • 36m 54s
  • 1640 yards
  • 02m 15s / 100 yards
Comments:

As usual, a slow swimmer. Much time spent on back and side. Need to work on endurance. Good pace when swimming differently. Not so bad for the number of participants. Just swim by yourself and ignore everyone else around. Pretty good crowd start
What would you do differently?:

Need to continue working on endurance.
Transition 1

Comments:

Slow, deliberate transition. Good "snack" (jeely beans and spit out) and good energy drink with water.
What would you do differently?:

Move faster

Comments:

Didn't drink on the bike (still not comfortable). Slight troubles with shifting, need to get bike checked. Able to make time on bike, especially with hills. Need to practice cornering, turns, and turn-arounds.
Transition 2

Forgot to take off helmet. Again, jelly beans and power drinks/ power gel and water
Run

  • 08m 19s  min/mile
Comments:

Blisters on left foot (calus/ scabbed blister just came off). Good with cooling and water (though slowed down at cooling points). Walked a bit too often on second loop. Need the mental "push."
Post race
Event comments:

Well organized, great activities, after race "availables" were very good. May do again next year.
