Pre-race routine:

No routine, watched kids and waited for relief! Had powerbar energy bar.

Only had maybe 10m to warm up, ran roughly 1/2 mile and then got into water and completed a couple 50's
Swim
  • 10m
  • 500 yards
  • 02m / 100 yards
Comments:

Felt swim went pretty well, had some difficulties getting around the 1st bouy because of the sharp turn, lost all momentum and took a little bit to get going again. Did have short span doing back stroke to catch breath
What would you do differently?:

Not much, felt like a good swim
Transition 1

Comments:

No issues
Bike
  • 50m 53s
  • 15 miles
  • 17.69 mile/hr
Comments:

Felt good through 1st half of course, right on target at half way point. Lost some momentum the 2nd half but still feel it was a decent performance
What would you do differently?:

I have to preview the course before race time, I think part of the 2nd half fall was not knowing the course.
Transition 2
  • 01m 11s
Comments:

Not much to do here other than find my spot and make it to the other side of the TA
Run
  • 37m 23s
  • 3.11 miles
  • 12m 01s  min/mile
Comments:

Not sure what happened here, coming out of TA I felt good and ready to run. With-in 1 mile I was out of air and could not keep an even steady pace. I started at a 9m pace which should have been relatively easy, but could not hold. By the half way point I was having to stop and walk to even keep moving. I don't think the overall bad rating for the run is enough to describe how terrible the performance was.
What would you do differently?:

No idea!!
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around for short term, short ride on bike to loosen leg muscle.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Failure to maintain the run,

Event comments:

Race was well organized and had no issues. Too bad my overall performance didn't match.
