Pre-race routine:

My first Triathlon. Not in any kind of shape (hindsight, was in ok shape). Have been smoking 1 pack a day, so it is what it is. I know, not good, but I've quit now and am getting in better shape.

Got there in plenty of time with Kim and setup in transition.
Event warmup:

Ran 1/4 mile.
Swim
  • 04m 31s
  • 219 yards
  • 02m 04s / 100 yards
Comments:

Felt very hard. Could not wait to get over with. Finally settled into some kind of rhythm around 125 meters in.
What would you do differently?:

Swim more. Find a coach.
Transition 1
  • 01m 29s
Comments:

Was tired coming out of the water, and could have run faster to transistion. Did a good job of getting helmet and shades on. Ran with bike and mounted then put on shoes. Had practiced a little a few days before, and thought I did a reasonable job.
What would you do differently?:

Practice more.
Bike
  • 28m 50s
  • 8.5 miles
  • 17.69 mile/hr
Comments:

As good as I could have done, with the condition I was in.
What would you do differently?:

Ride more
Transition 2
  • 00m 55s
Comments:

Was held up by an older gentleman who passed me on the last 1/2 mile of the bike. I did not go around him on the final down hill, but caught him at the dismount area, and he was SLOW going into T2.
Run
  • 17m
  • 2 miles
  • 08m 30s  min/mile
Comments:

Was really tired. Not many brick's before hand. Probably had a slight negative split.
What would you do differently?:

Run more. My running is my forte, I am going to run more this next year.
Post race
Warm down:

Kim thought I was having a heart attack. LOL.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

SMOKING. Not enough training because of baseball and life .

Event comments:

Kim wanted to do this next year, I will probably pace her. I would love to do it fast on a TRI bike.
