Pre-race routine:

Got there and hour and a half early. Set up transition. Ate a power bar and water.
Event warmup:

Did some stretching and some small sprints to warm up.Once in the pool I did some short fast strokes to warm my arms up and tried to stay moving in the water.
Swim
  • 04m 26s
  • 250 yards
  • 01m 46s / 100 yards
Comments:

Started off a bit to fast, but did pass some slower people to be able to swim alone more comfortable.
What would you do differently?:

I would have evened out my pace to make sure I wasn't so tired towards the end.
Transition 1
  • 03m 45s
Comments:

Transition was super slow. Next time I will have a tri suit on and not have to change all my clothes. Really slowed me down and made it hard to get riding gear on.
What would you do differently?:

Get a Tri suit to wear.
Bike
  • 33m 51s
  • 9.5 miles
  • 16.84 mile/hr
Comments:

The ride went pretty good. It was really cold so my legs were pretty tight the entire ride. But I was able to push the pace and really get into a good pace and keep it once I did a full lap.
What would you do differently?:

I would try to push the pace a bit more in the middle and try to get into a relaxed pace a little earlier on the bike.
Transition 2
  • 03m
Comments:

It was bad not really sure what i wanted to do because I had to run a long ways with the bike. Tried to get shoes off to run bare foot but could not get them off because I didn't unsnap them all the way. Had to take a breath and relax. Once they were off it was ok. Getting running gear on went pretty good.
What would you do differently?:

Take shoes off sooner and be better prepared.
Run
  • 12m 19s
  • 2 miles
  • 06m 10s  min/mile
Comments:

Had to throw up the pool water I drank during the swim... Once I did that I was great. Ran a good pace and felt really comfortable.
What would you do differently?:

I would push the pace a lot more and really let it out during the run. Didn't even get up to pace till after the first mile.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around and stretched with coaches.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

The Cold really took it's tole on me. Warmer weather with really help.

Event comments:

Everything went really smooth. I was really happy with the event. They were on time and made it fun. I will do the event next year and will do more events with this organization this season.
