Pre-race routine:

Nothing special really. Had my Bagel, drank some Gatorade, peed a lot. Did some stretching and BSing.
Event warmup:

Got in the cold ass water and swam a little before hand. Technically, this was my OWS practice.

Comments:

OMG, I wish I had had an oppurtunity to do an OWS first. What an eye opener. I beat my goal time by about 2 minutes and I have no idea how. Short course maybe? I couldn't get into any rhythm, the cold had my breathing all sorts of jacked up and I was basically breathing every stroke. I know what to expect now though!
What would you do differently?:

PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!!!

Not horrible for my first one. Had to sit down to put my socks on though.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing, smooth it out a bit I suppose

Comments:

Not a bad bike leg, I was about 8 minutes behind what I wanted to do. Time to spend more time on the bike I guess.
What would you do differently?:

More time in the seat
Transition 2
  • 01m 57s
Comments:

Same thing, nothing dramatic.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing really. I did run the wrong way out of transition.

Comments:

Crushed this run, for me anyway. PR for my 5k by almost a minute.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing. This was a good run for me. I was prettry sure I went a little strong on the bike.
Post race
Warm down:

Stayed on my feet

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Conditioning, I don't feel like I left anything on the table though. Having got through this one, I can go faster next time.

Event comments:

I'd do it again. It was a good time overall. They gave out some nice medals and had a decent schwag bag.
