Pre-race routine:

Early wake up and stretched for 20 min. Can feel left hammy but it's ok.
Breakfast.
Event warmup:

Rode for about 4 miles, ran about two miles and swam 10 minutes. Had a hammer gel and got ready to start.
Garmin was out of battery, kind of freak out a bit,

Swim
  • 09m 29s
  • 547 yards
  • 01m 44s / 100 yards
Comments:

It was a tune-up race and everything, but I should have made a better effort.
What would you do differently?:

Just go for it, it's a bloody sprint!!!
Transition 1
  • 01m 20s
Comments:

Lost my place in transition
What would you do differently?:

Mark some how my rack to make it easy to recognize and find
Bike
  • 30m 2s

  • 19.98 mile/hr
Comments:

Keeping high cadence. Not having HR (as I always do) was weird. Good effort
What would you do differently?:

Always bring a back up HR monitor. I've been training and racing for too long with this tool and it's the way to manage the engine.
Transition 2
  • 01m 7s
Comments:

Again had trouble finding rack.
Run
  • 23m 36s
  • 3.11 miles
  • 07m 35s  min/mile
Comments:

Felt good. Since having taken it easy on the swim and bike, preserved some energy for the run. Keeping always that hamstring in my mind might held me back a bit.
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

Injured hammy and lack of HR monitor.
Overall, I didn't have the motivation to hammer this race. I'm still very glad I did it to start getting things in sync also accumulated some valuable experiences

Event comments:

Great venue and atmosphere. I'll come back if I can.
