Pre-race routine:

Normal stuff. Had to sit around a little too long, but not like last year.
Event warmup:

Stretching.
Swim
  • 42m 55s
  • 2143 meters
  • 02m / 100 meters
Comments:

Felt long. Had to work around some other swimmers. At this distance, I really benefit from a wet suit.
What would you do differently?:

Hard to say. Took almost 5 minutes off of last years time.
Transition 1
  • 01m 53s
Comments:

Place in transition sucked and I had to run a long way with the bike.
What would you do differently?:

Happy with this.
Bike
  • 2h 29m 55s
  • 56 miles
  • 22.41 mile/hr
Comments:

Not sure what happened. I would have been content with this if I ran better, but compared to some of my peers this was a sub-par bike performance.
What would you do differently?:

Log more volume.
Transition 2
  • 02m 30s
Comments:

Again, place in transition sucked. Took a little too much time getting shoes on, but I wanted to get out feeling relaxed.
What would you do differently?:

Not much.
Run
  • 2h 03m 27s
  • 13.1 miles
  • 09m 25s  min/mile
Comments:

Forced myself to run above 8 for the first half, and I felt good at the turn around, but I just didn't have enough to go any faster. I walked every aid station to get fluids and ice. Happy that I did not walk any other time and that I didn't cramp up. I was passed by 7 guys in my age group.
What would you do differently?:

Run more
Post race
Warm down:

Walking and fluids

What limited your ability to perform faster:

limited time to train month before race. The timing of this race just does not fit my schedule.

Event comments:

Overall, I should be plaesed when you compare my performance with others in my age group, but I know I am capable of more. The run continues to be my achiles.
