Pre-race routine:

Got up at 4, left at 4:30. Got there about 6, checked in and drove to the parking lot, rode the trolley. Stretched and went out on the bike to adjust the gears. My brakes were rubbing in the front, so bike support fixed it for me.
Event warmup:

Rode the bike and ran up the hill.

Comments:

Easy 500 meter swim. I've done better on longer swims, so this was a bit odd for me.
Transition 1
  • 02m 25s
Comments:

My wet suit stuck and I couldn't find the leash. I managed to get it off. I dried my feet off because it was cold.
What would you do differently?:

Practice with the wetsuit

Comments:

I got this bike last weekend! It was my brothers. I am glad because before I rode a hybrid mountain/road bike. I did better than I would have on that bike. I was a bit disappointed in my time, but when looking at the others, this wasn't bad. I was able to actually stay with a "pack" and not be one of the last bikers back in.
What would you do differently?:

Practice with the new bike.
Transition 2
  • 00m 37s
Comments:

I started running with my helmet on and did the perfect toss to a guy in the TA who put it on my bike rack.

Comments:

I know I can do better. When I started, my feet and legs were so cold and I was cramping in my right calf. I was able to work it out. On the way out I was real so, but on the way back, I had a 10 minute mile which is usually what I average.
What would you do differently?:

Tough it out and push myself!
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around and talked to others.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

fitness and the cold

Event comments:

Thanks to all of the volunteers, they were great! FS always puts on great races and I appreciate all of their help this year. I had a lot of fun. The medals we got for this race were awesome! I've never gotten one before for finishing.
