Pre-race routine:

Woke up and drove to the race site. Had a cup of coffee on the way and a banana. Setup Transition with about 15 minutes left until the start.
Event warmup:

Ran a couple laps around the track that was there. Just trying to keep warm. It was freezing at the start.

Comments:

Felt OK for the little bit of running that I had done. Found a group that was running my pace and just stuck with them. I was worried about going too hard considering I have never ran and then biked before.
Transition 1
  • 00m 59s
Comments:

Transition went pretty smooth.

Comments:

Eh. Not too happy with the bike. This was actually my first outside ride all year. It was cold and the hills wore me down.
What would you do differently?:

Actually do some training.
Transition 2
  • 01m 46s
Comments:

Had to rewrap my ankle which slowed me down a good bit.
Run
  • 28m 31s
  • 3.11 miles
  • 09m 10s  min/mile
Comments:

This is where the lack of any training what so ever showed up. I got a little cramp in my calf after about 1 mile, then my quad cramped with only about .5 left.
What would you do differently?:

Train.
Post race
Warm down:

Grabbed some gatorade and water and watched the other finishers come in.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

This was a fun race and that is all I planned it to be. I almost didn't even go b/c of my lack of any sort of training. The race was at the tail end of probably the busiest 6 weeks of work of my life. I was already worn down and combine that with almost no training in the weeks leading up to it. I wasn't expecting much at all. I had a good time non the less.

Event comments:

This was a great event. Very well run. Would of liked about 15 degrees warmer, but other than that it was great. Be back next year.
