Age Group = 35-39
Age Group Rank = 10/15
Pre-race routine:

Just trying to get everyone coordinated and over there. Only drank water.
Swim
  • 10m 24s
  • 400 meters
  • 02m 36s / 100 meters
Comments:

Swallowed a couple of gulps of saltwater trying to get into the waves, but felt fine once I rounded the first bouy. Waves took me a little wide on the way back in and had to run back to the entrance, but felt like I navigated well other than that.
What would you do differently?:

Practice running into the waves before the actual start.
Transition 1
  • 00m
What would you do differently?:

I really need to either practice getting my shoes on freestanding or make sure I rack my bike in a place with something to lean on or bring a stool.
Bike
  • 59m 6s
  • 17.1 miles
  • 17.36 mile/hr
What would you do differently?:

Wear my camelback and eat something. I don't know why I didn't take a couple bites out of my cliff bar during transition as I planned, but I do know that I didn't drink enough because I did not want to slow down to pick up a bottle.
Transition 2
  • 00m
Comments:

Again problems with the balancing thing on my cleats.
What would you do differently?:

Get speed laces which I knew I wanted before the race, but just never got around to getting them.
Run
  • 52m 16s
  • 4 miles
  • 13m 04s  min/mile
Comments:

It's really not fair to call this a run since I did much more walking than running.
What would you do differently?:

Drink more and eat something either pre-race or prior to the bike. I was just totally spent by the run.
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of adequate nutrition.

Event comments:

This was a really fun race even if there did seem to be a bit of disorganization. You got the feeling that everyone was just there to have a good time and that's what everyone did.

I felt really good on the bike - passed a good number of people and lots with bikes nicer than mine.
