Pre-race routine:

Woke up, ate a bagel, drove to race. Set up in the dark.
Event warmup:

3 Mile run (Run Route)
Swim
  • 10m 45s
  • 500 yards
  • 02m 09s / 100 yards
Comments:

Another combatives swim. Lots of traffic. Felt pretty good and went by fast. I like the rectangle swim. Tried to draft, but the murky water wasn't very condusive.
What would you do differently?:

Train a little more and try drafting more.
Transition 1
  • 00m 36s
Comments:

Not a bad T1. The only part that slowed me down was having to run over gravel once we got into transition. Fastest OA T1.
What would you do differently?:

Bring sandles/crocs to swim exit for rough transitions.
Bike
  • 43m 12s
  • 15 miles
  • 20.83 mile/hr
Comments:

Nice ride. Struggled with hills at the end. Was 10th OA at the bike turn. Was pretty much all alone from mile 3 on, and I actually thought I was off course at one point. This made it difficult to push.
What would you do differently?:

Drink a little more. Push a little harder.
Transition 2
  • 00m 24s
Comments:

Had way too much momentum coming off the bike and almost overran my transition point. Good overall, though. 2nd fastest OA T2. Fastest T2 in AG.
What would you do differently?:

Slow down a little more before dismount.
Run
  • 19m 51s
  • 3.1 miles
  • 06m 24s  min/mile
Comments:

Decent run, though slower than I wanted. Goal was 19:00. The steady unhill on the out slowed me down. Was 7th OA at the turn and passed 3 racers during last mile.
What would you do differently?:

Dig deep & run faster.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked, Gatorade, Water

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Heat

Event comments:

Run Wild puts on a great race. This was no exception. One of the best.

This was one of those races where everything just comes together. Great race, great event.
