Pre-race routine:

Woke up and ate toast and my Latte. Just looking forward to first race of the year as I plan to race A LOT this year since last year was pretty much focused on Kona.
Event warmup:

The usual, short run and then went for a short warmup swim.

Got a good start and just swam well. I was surprised to still be 8th in the open division. Swimming has come a long way but with a short swim the fish didn't really have a chance to get way out in front of me.
Transition 1
  • 01m 50s
Comments:

I'm guessing on T1 time because timining screwed up and included T1 with my bike. Long run from water to bike and I was a little slow in transition so am guessing based on others times.

Guessing on bike but I was in a group of about 4 guys that kept going back and forth the entire ride. The top 2 guys were out front and we knew we wouldn't catch them. Really happy to hang with all the top guys on this ride. I haven't really worked on speed since Kona so it's purely my base that allows me to go fast.

Even Terranova was surprised I hung with him on the bike. Not bad for an old guy. :-)
Transition 2
  • 00m 48s
Comments:

Got out of shoes and off bike as usual. Racked my bike in the wrong spot and had to go over a couple spots to get running shoes and race belt. Sorry Ryan for putting my bike in your spot. :-)
Run
  • 12m 13s
  • 2 miles
  • 06m 07s  min/mile
Comments:

Again,since I haven't worked speed I was happy with this. I passed Ben early and then passed Ashton but he passed me again later on. I tried to stay with him but once he got 20 yards ahead of me I knew I would be able to hang with him.

Event comments:

Overall a good short sprint for me since I haven't worked on speed since Kona. I'll race again next weekend and we'll see how it goes.
