Pre-race routine:

First race didn't really have a pre-race routine. Took it easy all day Saturday and went to bed early on Saturday night. Got up a 4 to get there by 5:45. I wanted plenty of time to get my transition area set up as it was my first race.
Event warmup:

I swam about 75 to 100 yards to WU.
Swim
  • 06m 35s
  • 300 yards
  • 02m 11s / 100 yards
Comments:

I learned that I definitely do not like breast stroke swimmers. One kick to the head will do that for you. That and having to try and go around them.
What would you do differently?:

I would try to start out in the front on the swim. I started out in the back as I was a little apprehenzive of group swim. I should have tried to get out front so that I would not have had to fight the crowd the whole time.
Transition 1
  • 03m 45s
Comments:

I took my time through this transition. I wanted to try and get my bearings and really enjoy that I had completed the swim. When I started training for the Tri, this was my worst event.
What would you do differently?:

Next time I will cut the T1 time down significantly.

Comments:

Overall I feel like I had a good bike. I think that I probably could have been closer to 20mph on the pace, but first tri not bad.
Transition 2
  • 01m 17s
Comments:

I would say a good overall transition since this was only my second one.
Run
  • 31m 2s
  • 3 miles
  • 10m 20s  min/mile
Comments:

I had a decent run. This was the first time that I had put all three parts together. I wanted to have a pace of just under 10 mins so not to far off.

Event comments:

It was a fun little super sprint. I will do this race next year only to use it as a gauge of fitness improvement.
