 		Total Time = 1h 11m 8s
Overall Rank = 30/219
Age Group = 30-34
Age Group Rank = 3/15
Pre-race routine:

Up early, couldn't sleep. Small breakfast and on the road. Got there early so took my time setting up.
Event warmup:

Normal, bike, run and swim half the course just before the race starts.
Swim
  • 10m 23s
  • 880 yards
  • 01m 11s / 100 yards
Comments:

I went out in the second wave and ended up swimming up on a ton of people. No idea why they did the waves that way.
What would you do differently?:

Hugged the inside, it seemed more people were in the middle.
Transition 1
  • 03m 40s
Comments:

This included a 1/3 of a mile run from the swim to transition. I am usually in and out under a minute or so.
Bike
  • 36m 39s
  • 12 miles
  • 19.65 mile/hr
Comments:

I dropped my chain coming out of transition. This set me back at least 1 minute. Just after that my only water bottle shot off my bike, which wasn't a huge deal as it was only 12 miles.
What would you do differently?:

Rather than scream at my chain, calmly put it back on and start riding.
Transition 2
  • 00m 53s
Run
  • 19m 32s
  • 3 miles
  • 06m 31s  min/mile
What would you do differently?:

I need to keep running hard. Maybe do some speed work.
Post race
Warm down:

Water and banana. Chilled out.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I need to work on the bike a little more. Maybe stay inside for some hard trainer sessions.

Event comments:

Not a big race. Wish there was more people. The FIRM races seem to be losing the number of participants.
