Pre-race routine:

2 scrambled eggs w/ cheese and a small bowl of oatmeal. Woke up at 5:45, race at 8:00. Got there around 6:45.
Event warmup:

It was freezing so I just ran around for a bit with a couple of strides. Swim was cancelled so I didn't want to run too hard.

Comments:

Disappointed the swim was cancelled but I was happy with my 8:30 pace for the 1 mile run.
What would you do differently?:

Swim!

Bike

Comments:

I didn't go nearly as fast as I wanted to. My legs tuckered out pretty early on; I still felt good riding though.
What would you do differently?:

Ride faster. Wish I would have trained just a bit more in the weeks following up.
Transition 2
  • 00m 42s
Run
  • 29m 40s
  • 3.11 miles
  • 09m 32s  min/mile
Comments:

I had to stop and pee at one point, that prbobaly added at least 30 seconds. I was on cruise control for the rest, just wanted to finish at this point.
What would you do differently?:

Not much. If I had a watch I might have pushed myself a little more, but the next girl in front of me was so far ahead and the person behind was far behind so I didn't have much motivation/reason to try much harder except for a personal time.
Post race
Warm down:

Ran a little further to let my heart rate come down. Took pics with the fam, ate half a banana, then went out for breakfast in Morrison. Could hardly eat though! No appetite.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

The cold, a little.

Event comments:

If the swim wasn't cancelled I'd probably want to do it again, but I just don't think I'd want to risk it for next year.
