Age Group Rank = 0/
Pre-race routine:

Up at 3:45, drove to site, got there by 5:30, simple pre-meal of smart water, Gatorade, and Red Bull...short race, no need to over do it
Event warmup:

Stay out of the 30 mph wind and try to stay warm
Swim
  • 12m 21s
  • 536 meters
  • 02m 18s / 100 meters
Comments:

Decent swim. I do not train in swimming, as the effort does not assist much. I'm comfortable in the water, so until my run improves, not going to worry about this area.
What would you do differently?:

Not much. Felt good in some decently tough conditions
Transition 1
  • 03m 37s
Comments:

Took my sweet time. No need to get the heart rate up over getting on the bike
What would you do differently?:

Get into the clips faster and save my shins from the banging of missing the pedal, twice.
Bike
  • 36m 38s
  • 10 miles
  • 16.38 mile/hr
Comments:

Dead flat course, and I was a little surprised by the speed until I saw the winner averaged just under 20 mph. I'd expect the winner to have a speed closer to 25 mph, so not as bad as I thought.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing. Paced this as expected.
Transition 2
  • 01m 13s
Comments:

did not lollygag here
What would you do differently?:

nothing...perfect in my eyes.
Run
  • 31m 3s
  • 3.1 miles
  • 10m 01s  min/mile
Comments:

Ran a lot slower than expected, but I ran the entire length. Headwind on the way out made the run tough for me.
What would you do differently?:

get faster, faster, faster
Post race
Warm down:

ran through the tape and got some liguids and food...it'd been a while since I had either

What limited your ability to perform faster:

lack of training in biking and swimming. I've been training the run, but I needed to get some bricks to get my legs ready for the run off the bike. They loosened up 2.5 miles in...not much help in a 3 mile run.

Event comments:

events were not on time, but that is a bit misleading. There was a 20-30mph wind blowing, so the swim course had to be changed on the fly. Great race, and I will be back!
