Pre-race routine:

Ate half a bagel and a banana. Typical for me in any race.
Event warmup:

Stretched a little but that was it!
Swim
  • 6h 52m
  • 300 yards
  • 2h 17m 20s / 100 yards
What would you do differently?:

Practice, practice, practice. I was not really comfortable in the pool. Ready for some open water swims! YEAH!
Transition 1
  • 02m 39s
Comments:

I have only ridden my bike ONCE in over a year. I couldn't at all get clipped into my pedals.
Bike
  • 42h 00m
  • 12.43 miles
  • 0.30 mile/hr
Comments:

I felt pretty bad on the bike. I first had trouble getting clipped in, then just felt tired and uncomfortable on the bike. I MUST ride more!!
What would you do differently?:

Ride my bike more than once in a year before a race!!
Transition 2
  • 01m 5s
Comments:

I was so sick of the bike by the time I got to the rack that I just kind of tossed it on the ground.
What would you do differently?:

T2 wasn't all that bad. I did drop my hat and have to turn around and pick it up so I think I'd run out of t2 with my hat and then put it on!
Run
  • 26h 45m
  • 3.11 miles
  • 8h 36m 05s  min/mile
Comments:

The run actually was pretty hard and I felt really slow. It wasn't AS slow as I thought but isn't anywhere near my ability. I think the main reason that I was slow is that I was just zapped from the bike!
Post race
Warm down:

walked a little and then stretched. I'm not much of a warm down person!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Not training enough on the bike and swim.

Event comments:

This was a good first race course wise. I wasn't quite ready to race and actually just decided to do the race after the date change. It did show me that if I don't want to feel sad with my results etc, then I need to train harder. I enjoyed it and now know what I need to work on and my new goal is about 11 minutes faster than I did this race. 7 minutes on nike, 2 1/2 on the run, and 1 minute on the swim and 30 seconds or so on transition
